Further 'Holyland' discussions to take place
Residents of the 'Holyland' area of south Belfast will have an opportunity next week to hear what the University of Ulster is doing to cement progressive “town and gown” relations in the South Belfast area, which is home to many students.
Senior officials from the University will take part in the meeting - the second such community conference for local people in Holyland - which is to be held at the Holiday Inn, University Street, on Tuesday.
Anne Monaghan, the University’s Community Relations Manager, said: "The University of Ulster has invested heavily in community relations initiatives in South Belfast over the past number of years.
“We take seriously our responsibility for handling complaints about students and for building relationships with local communities.”
The meeting is being organised as part of the “Need to Know” process - a community development project in the area administered by Extern, an organisation that targets social exclusion through involving residents in finding solutions to local problems including community safety.
Around 150 residents and students took part in the first conference held last November. During this meeting many issues, such as litter, noise and anti-social behaviour, were identified and discussed.
The University officials and other agencies will be on hand on Tuesday to detail their work since November last year.
