READ MORE: Belfast Council says no Christmas tree switch-on or countdown for "health and safety" reasons “To maintain alignment with the Bolder Vision interventions, it is proposed that the framework could be tested initially in the Linen Quarter district, which has the aspirations of becoming the first sustainable and net zero business neighbourhood in Northern Ireland.
“However I would have liked to see it piloted in a more residential area. You have Grosvenor Road and Carrick Hill just outside this area, and in a lot of these neighbourhoods the air quality is quite poor. “Looking at a net zero neighbourhood is something we should strive to do, not to look for an easy project within the city centre where there has already been heavy funding. It would be an unfair testbed, because there aren’t many homes around the Linen Quarter.
