City council ask for feedback on how to spend £25 million
Belfast City Council has today asked for feedback from the public as to how they should spend £25 million, transforming 200 acres of wasteland on the shores of Belfast Lough.
The City Council is to bid for funding from the Big Lottery Fund in order to build a revolutionary recreational space - to be known as Giant's Park on the north foreshore of the lough, however the council is encouraging the public to put forward ideas as to what exactly should be built.
Maria-Therese McGivern, director of development at the council said: "People from all walks of life are invited to tell us about the leisure, culture and environmental and educational facilities they would like to see featured at Giant's Park for the benefit of all communities.”
The Giant's Park is one of 23 projects throughout the UK short-listed for a piece of £140 million worth of funding to be made available through the Big Lottery Fund's Living Landmarks programme - which will provide individual grants of up to £25 million.
