Queens Quay at the beginning of the Maritime Mile gets attractive new natural space
A new planter on Queen’s Quay in Belfast has transformed a vacant area of land into an attractive green space with some of the best views of the city’s waterfront.
Chief Executive of Maritime Belfast, Kerrie Sweeney said: “Queen’s Quay is the gateway to the Maritime Mile, and adding the planter has made such a positive change to the area. We are delighted to have had the support from Belfast City Council and the Department for Communities to transform the area as part of our wider ambitions for Belfast’s waterfront.
“Through Grey to Green, we’ve also helped to create The BUG – Belfast’s Urban Garden on Kent Street. It offers a fantastic, free opportunity to connect with nature and community in the heart of our city centre. "A green wall is currently being constructed by Kilultagh Estates on Linenhall Street, and we’ve funded Bid One to install two giant bee structures at 2 Royal Avenue and Bank Square to signify our shared commitment to creating ‘lively, safe, and green streets’.”
