18 New Homes To Be Developed In North Belfast

The announcement that almost 20 new homes are to be developed on a site in north Belfast has been welcomed by Sinn Fein.

MLA Gerry Kelly also welcomed confirmation that retailers LIDL and Home Bargains are to open large stores on the Hillview Retail Park on the Crumlin Road.


He said: "There will also be 18 new homes built on the site and a Day Centre for the elderly.

"The site has lain unused for over a decade and LIDL, as the anchor tenant, intends to be open for business by January, while workers will be on site building the homes within six months.

"The owners of the site also say that other retail and leisure businesses have shown interest in taking up tenancies.

"This is good news for the local community and will bring badly needed jobs as well as a multi-million pound investment to the area."
