Can’t believe I’m saying this but…

We finally have Alleygates!!!

Waited since 2020/2021!

The feeling of safety is brilliant.

When locked people cannot use our alleyway to pee and take drugs and dump waste.

Thanks to all for making it happen

My neighbour was so happy too!

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

@deptinfra looking forward to having you at some key meetings to discuss ideas and formulate plan forward

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

Pavement parking is such a nightmare in South Belfast / Holylands area

Thankful for Chloe @ForwardSouthPB taking a lead and gathering key agencies and people to discuss a way forward

Residents parking scheme is needed

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

@deptinfra the Holylands is a full blown car park of cars parked entirely on pavements

When will the new legislation be put into effect and what enforcement measures can we expect you to follow through with?

It’s unsafe to walk on pavements

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

Hi @deptinfra and @belfastcc

Our standard Monday to Thursday walk into Botanic Primary school

On 1 side of Agincourt Avenue there were 12 cars all fully parked with all 4 wheels-effectively blocking pavement

Can we have some action please?!

Called PSNI this am

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

@belfastcc Done
Thanks

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

Hi @belfastcc and Bryson Recycling

Our recycling was missed last week (every Tuesday am in our postcode of BT7)

When I called last week the voicemail said the bins would be lifted on Sat. They weren’t

They were again missed yesterday

Can you help?

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

Another day passes
Tried phoning but impossible to get through to speak to someone asking that a pick up laptop as missed and requesting a pick up

Tried the website portal and against our address it says “no bin information”

Sent email!

Beyond frustrating

Help?!

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

Tell me you’re running a 3 day @TrussellUK Tesco Winter collection without telling me you’re running a 3-day Tesco collection

✋

[South Belfast Foodbank @SouthbelfastFB]

Ever thought about volunteering with our us but wondered how?
Here is your chance!

If you could spare 2 hours (especially on Sat 29th Nov) we would be so grateful.

It's simple: smile at customers and ask them to consider buying an item for the foodbank

@deptinfra @deptinfra thanks for sending someone! 👍
Spoke to him
Loads of cars ticketed

Well done

Only-THE ONLY- way things change is with enforcement and fines.

No more wasted 💰 on leaflets asking for ‘considerate parking’

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

Live scenes just now on what should be a safe and easy walk into Botanic School

My friend walking down a busy cut through road with her little baby in a pram.

Onto incoming traffic!

Unacceptable

@PSNIBelfastS can you please come and issue some fines?

@belfastcc @deptinfra

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

@deptinfra can some parking attendants please attend the Belfast South Holylands area?

Prob around 20-30 cars parked illegally on double yellow lines

Please come and help make this area a safe space to live and walk

Thanks

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

@Bt7Resident @belfastcc @deptinfra @PSNIBelfastS Here's a thought.

I wondered if we had critical mass, would a pile of parents with kids join in a sort of friendly protest and walk to Botanic School down the middle of Agincourt - it'd take 10 mins - and let everyone know why - because we can't walk on the pavements.

Thoughts?

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

@belfastcc
The vision is of a safer city

How is this safe?

3 more vehicles wholly parked on the pavement and in the morning, they will still be there.

Mums, Dads, kids, wheelchairs, partially sighted-list goes on.
All set aside with vehicles given a free pass

Can you help??

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

Another day, another walk to school and being forced into the road with pram and kids due to #pavementparking in Belfast

I counted and took 📷of several cars just on 1 side of road

Just called @PSNIBelfastS in the hope they come and issue tickets

@deptinfra

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

That Scotland WC qualifier game…

Unreal!

Nothing but joy watching that and so pleased for Scotlan

#beautifulgame

[Bruce G-C @Bruceage]

The state of Agincourt Avenue in S. Belfast. It’s a key walking route to Botanic Primary school

My friend was with his double buggy. 📷of him stuck trying to get past #pavementparking

We walked in middle of the road into oncoming traffic.

Now have to call PSNI

[South Belfast Foodbank @SouthbelfastFB]
