"In the last year alone, we have invested £3.7 million upgrading almost 900 houses across Greater Shankill, which represents a hugely significant investment here.

"We've also recently provided new rooves for homes in Springmartin and in lower Shankill, the new Hopewell Square Garden has been added to by the re-instatement of the Lost Streets public art close by.

"We will continue to look for opportunities to foster vibrant communities and to deliver better services and better homes."
