Housing Executive reveal £57m spending plan
The Housing Executive is to pump around £57 million worth of funding into improving housing conditions in Belfast over the next year.
In its annual expenditure plans revealed yesterday, the Executive confirmed that the funding would improve housing in areas of need such as the lower Newtownards Road, Connswater, New Lodge and Turf Lodge.
Chief Executive Paddy McIntyre confirmed that about £3.8 million would be put towards adaptations for residents with special needs.
Mr McIntyre also said further work would be put into drawing up a co-ordinated approach in tackling the particular needs of the west Belfast and greater Shankill areas.
He also hit out at the continued civil unrest in parts of Belfast which, he said, was hampering the Executive's ability to deliver its programmes of work.
