Cllr Groogan condemns posters in Belvoir
Green party Councillor for Botanic Aine Groogan said “I was notified by local residents in the Belvoir area who were alarmed by posters going up overnight making concerning statements around housing in the area.”
“We are in a housing crisis, that is a fact but that is a result of the failure of Stormont and the executive parties who have failed communities for decades. In the current climate, I utterly condemn any attempt to stir up tensions and misdirect anger towards people who are not the reason why we have a lack of housing. It’s unhelpful at its best, and encouraging racism at its worst. There is no place for that here.”
“I have been working with the PSNI and the Council to ensure the swift removal of this fly postering and I’m grateful for their support in counteracting this attempt at intimidation around housing.”
