Spratt Welcomes Environment Minister to Lower Malone

 

South Belfast DUP MLA Jimmy Spratt has welcomed the Environment Minister Edwin Poots, to the Lower Malone area of South Belfast. Commenting, Mr. Spratt said: 

"I was pleased to welcome my colleague, the Minister for the Environment, Edwin Poots to the Lower Malone area this morning to meet with residents and discuss the very serious planning issues in the area.  

The Lower Malone Residents Group highlighted the impact of planning decisions on the lives of local people and also the importance of ensuring that the architectural heritage of the area is preserved. 

For too long obtrusive developments have been destroying the character of vast swathes of my constituency. It was good for the minister to hear the views of local residents and hear for himself the impact that such developments have on local people."
