Proposals have been announced to develop new social homes and apartments in north Belfast.

A total of eight houses and 20 apartments are to be developed on the Little Donegall street car park in the Carrick Hill area if approved by Belfast City Council.

Sinn Féin Housing spokesperson Carál Ní Chuilín MLA said: "The demand has and will remain to be for homes, not for car parks so we are calling on the Council to ensure all opportunities to provide much needed homes for local families are maximised.

"All bodies that have responsibility for housing development need to focus on the lack of supply of social homes and ending the inequalities that exist within the housing system."
