University 'cleans up' its community relations
Students and staff from the University of Ulster have been engaged in a clean-up operation as part of the university’s continuing campaign to improve relationships between students and residents in the Holyland area of south Belfast.
Around 10 volunteers from the University and the Students’ Union took part in the day-long exercise to remove piles of rubbish and debris from the alleyways and streets of the Holyland, which is home to around 5,000 students from Queen’s University, the University of Ulster and Belfast Institute of Further and Higher Education.
The huge influx of students into the area has led to friction between them and existing residents however the University of Ulster said it had been at the forefront of attempts to address these problems through its community relations programme established four years ago
Anne Monaghan, the university’s community relations manager, said: “The university has invested significantly in South Belfast and will continue to strive to reduce problems of noise, anti-social behaviour and environmental issues in areas where our students live side-by-side with local residents.
“We have used, and will continue to bring, our disciplinary powers to bear on those who damage the good name and reputation of the University of Ulster and we will continue to strive to improve the quality of life for students and residents off campus.”
