Green Roofs for St Paddy's Day.

Last week, I took a bus up the Shankill to see the first green bus stop roofs in the city. I am delighted to say these will also be coming to East Belfast in the next year- to the Cregagh And Castlereagh Roads, as well as Holywood Road..

The notice for the expanded kerbside glass recycling routes in Lisnasharragh, Ormiston, Black Mountain and Colin are now hitting 23k doorsteps.

Proof that Alliance works- our proposal for £500k last year led to this rollout, and the rest of the expansion will be completed in a maximum of 2 years

As Chair of the City Centre Working Group, invited City Night Czar, Michael Stewart, to come in & highlight his work on the nighttime economy in the City Centre.
Agreed nighttime buses year round, tackling violence against women girls & reviving Culture Night are all vital.

On Radio Ulster this morning, talking congestion & bus services. Lack of planning but DFI on roadworks & focus on cars is the major issue.

Also, highlighted the pilot late night Christmas late night service.

Unfortunately, they didn't use the clips of me talking to myself on the Glider yesterday!

Proud uncle moment as we watch Sid and the Guestlist supporting the Blossoms at Manchester Apollo.

Next concert is Zayn, whilst the Manic St Preachers and the Pixies are up in the next few months.

Not sure where the musical talent is coming from, but I was in the Sullivan Singers!!

A privilege to attend the funeral service for Anna Lo.

Her other name was Manwah- which means 'splendid'. Such a great word to describe such a wonderful person.

Belfast's historic tiled street signs are so distinctive.
BCC sourcing funding to restore them. Have asked that future city centre signs would be universally in this format.
Makes signage consistent & could highlight historic sites & entries to tell the rich city centre history.
