Sinn Féin behind funding for toilets but questions another request from Belfast Hills
Belfast Council has agreed to a new funding request involving the provision of portable toilets for a July Twelfth event at a cost of over £1,500.
At the same meeting Belfast Hills Partnership requested an additional £11,070, alongside a current Belfast Council annual allocation of £36,900. The committee agreed to defer consideration of this request in order to allow officers to check if the organisation was able to make an application under discretionary funding.
“The Belfast Hills Partnership have highlighted consistent rising costs, which they advise they have tried to absorb internally by seeking to cut costs where possible – however, they are now in a position of seeking support from funding partners to continue delivering their services. At the S, P and R meeting, Sinn Féin Councillor Ciaran Beattie said: “Regarding Belfast Hills, it is a very worthwhile project, but the worry on this is that obviously groups across the city are struggling with revenue. We did have a funding framework that was set out which was a discretionary fund which allowed for groups like this who need to make a shortfall.
