Belfast Plans On Track as Maze Support Seems to Slump
Belfast City Council have officially selected Ormeau Park as the site for the proposed Belfast stadium. Three interested developers have now presented detailed plans to the council, all of which are focused on the park in the south of the city.
Just as the Belfast stadium project is ploughing ahead, with world class developers (including the company behind the Emirates Stadium) presenting their ideas, concerns are being raised over the government’s commitment to the Maze project. Belfast City Council are still pursuing the NIO minister with responsibility for the Maze plans, David Hanson, in an effort to have the business plan for the Maze released. However, despite the stadium’s planned cost to the taxpayer of at least £85 million, the minister is still refusing to release the business plan.
Meanwhile, Lagan Valley politicians are worried that a new roads proposal indicates the government are not as committed to the Maze plans as it first appeared, with the proposed new A1 link road bypassing the area altogether.
