Noise. Belfast's BIG problem is its major road network. Along with air quality, you'd really worry for the health of those living on the M1,2,3, Westlink, S'ham Bypass, A55. Has this been studied in detail? Are they aware?

Ages ago, Ch4 Fri Movie Nights were sponsored by Stella Artois who ran brilliant 'film location' theme nights.
Saw The Shawshank Redemption in Crumlin Courthouse after a site tour & a few Stella. Shame on us to lose.
Also seen The Truman Show at Havelock House 😞

Belfast's historic Crumlin Road Courthouse, built in 1850 & left in ruins for 27 years, screams potential. While last summer its owner asked for patience(!) this listed building continues to deteoriate under the watch of DfC & BCC. #SaveCrumlinRoadCourthouse

Stopped in my tracks by this magnificent Algerian Oak in Belfast Botanical Gardens. Deciduous but still in full leaf mid January.

A sensitive topic, but it's saddening that Northern Ireland lacks a major, universally accepted memorial to all those lost and affected by the Troubles. My vote would be for a Great Northern Forest, created with a native tree planted by each and every child who lives here. 🕊 🌳
