New Community Development Opens In West Belfast

Construction News Image
A new community development has opened in west Belfast.

The community facility, on the grounds of Christ The Redeemer Church in the Lagmore area, will be home to the Lagmore Community Forum.

The building will also provide space for a number of other local groups, including youth services, Sure Start, a children's drama club, a parents' support group and a special needs early years support group all providing vital services for people in the local community.

The building was funded by the Urban Villages Initiative and delivered by Belfast City Council.

Éamonn Scott, the founding Chairperson of Lagmore Community Forum, said: "As well as providing a permanent base for Lagmore Community Forum, it also creates a safe place for local groups to meet and we are already experiencing extremely high demand for the facility. Thank you to everyone who made this possible."

Councillor Deirdre Hargey, Chair of Belfast City Council's City Growth and Regeneration Committee, added: "The Council is delighted to have worked with the Lagmore Community Forum and the Urban Villages Initiative to deliver this wonderful project, and to finally provide a permanent home to the Forum after all these years.

"Since the Colin area moved into the Belfast City Council area in 2015, we have invested heavily in projects in the locality. Indeed, when redevelopment work starts on the Brook Activity Centre in the New Year, our investment in the area will top £17 million. This new building for the Lagmore Community Forum is an important aspect of our partnership working in the area, and a clear demonstration of our commitment to deliver the aims of the Belfast Agenda and the Urban Villages Initiative."
