Minister Hargey said:

“I am delighted to announce this investment of £1.1m from my Department to fund the construction phase of a new public realm scheme at Lanark Way, Belfast.

“This scheme will unlock wider physical and social regeneration by improving the streetscape for the local community and the numerous visitors who visit the nearby murals.
