Plans for a residents' parking scheme in south Belfast have been announced by the Infrastructure Minister, Chris Hazzard.

Minister Hazzard said the project in the College Park Avenue/Rugby Road area will include a combination of parking spaces for residents and pay and display spaces.

The scheme will move to the next stage of consultation in the coming weeks. If the further consultations are successful, a scheme could be in place by summer 2017.
