NIHE Glen Area Patch Manager Alison Devenney said: "We're making a very considerable investment in this new roof and work will take place over a number of months.

"When it’s finished later in the Spring, the building itself will look completely different and more aesthetically pleasing, while the actual fabric of the structure will find greater protection from the elements.

"This work forms part of the Upper Lenadoon External Cyclical Maintenance Programme which will commence shortly and will represent a total investment of around £1million in the area this year."
