The Mackie's site in West Belfast has been largely vacant over the past 20 years
Homeless families in Belfast have developed a plan to "breathe new life" into a derelict area with the creation of around 500 affordable new homes.
Amidst a deepening housing crisis, where the need for adequate shelter has become a pressing human rights issue, Take Back the City campaigners have developed a master-plan to address the chronic shortage of affordable housing in Belfast. The proposed development at Mackie’s is poised to deliver a significant boost to the local community, offering a blend of residential, commercial and community spaces.
As part of the pre-application process, the public is encouraged to attend one of two information sessions which will be hosted by Take Back the City at Forthspring Inter Community Group on Belfast’s Springfield Road, on Tuesday 10 September, at 10am and 6.00pm. Alternatively, people are welcome to drop in throughout the day.
"Families are tired of waiting for things to change so they have developed their own solutions for homes and businesses. Our plan for Mackie’s offers a unique opportunity to breathe new life into an area which has been neglected for far too long.
