Belfast City Council is planning to light up one of the city centre’s problem night time streets.
Council officers have recommended for approval a two year plan to install three projector units to act as an interactive lighting installation along hoarding on Castle Street, close to King Street. The application by the Council for the projectors at 83 to 87 Castle Street will be decided by elected representatives at this evening’s Planning Committee .
It states the lighting would “enhance the character and appearance of the area including the city centre conservation area,” and regarding the appearance of the lights “the scale, form, materials and detailing of the projector units respect the adjoining buildings.” “Given the commercial nature of the street, low-level lighting, the subtle changes of colour and motions and light being restricted to the hoarding board with limited light spill and glare, there will be no detrimental impact on the amenity of the adjoining properties.”
Belfast Council over the summer also created a new Cleansing Taskforce, set up by elected members to tackle littering, dumped waste and other cleansing-related issues. A new washing team was set up, and a series of “specialist cleans” have been planned.
