Fast-food outlets in Belfast have had to cut back on takeaway deliveries due to traffic congestion.
Ramakrishnan Kannan said it took him one hour and 45 minutes to deliver an order from the city centre to the Shankill RoadComplaints about orders arriving late, and cold, have gone up due to congestion in the south of the city on weekdays.
Originally from India, he said: “I’ve been here 14 years and I’ve never seen anything like this traffic in Belfast before.” “This is the final quarter of the year when we normally do the best business but there’s a danger of losing money if the traffic doesn’t improve,” he said.“It’s a huge concern,” he said. “People are saying if it takes one and a half hours for the food to arrive, what is the point of ordering the food?”There is a long line of takeaways within a mile of the new station on the Dublin Road and Bradbury Place. They take orders from around the city.
At the same time, he said the ongoing roadworks are needed for the smooth running of all forms of transport in the city in the future.
