Views Sought On Belfast 'Masterplan'

A new 'masterplan' to create a retail, business, tourism and culture centre at the heart of Belfast is currently under proposal.

The Council has said the public has one more week to put forward suggestions on the City Masterplan currently being considered.

Belfast City Masterplan 2013-2020 will set out the council’s vision for the city in terms of creating a "competitive, connected and inclusive Belfast."

One project currently underway is £400m investment in the Royal Exchange project.

The Masterplan also seeks to create a "learning city", exemplified by the £250m investment by the University of Ulster in a new campus in York Street.

The deadline for submitting views on the Belfast City Masterplan is Friday 29 November.
