"Landlords of empty commercial buildings are to start paying full rates, generating £20m for Stormont and local government, the Finance Minister has announced. At the moment, vacant commercial properties are liable for just 50% of their rates." 1/2

Patience ran out long ago as anyone paying cursory attention at @belfastcc will know. The DUP & SF control Belfast CC and BOTH relevant ministries (Finance & Communities) yet there's been no serious move towards vesting.

The Communities Minister says he's exploring options for a realistic alternative to the stalled Tribeca scheme. Since announced, it has made little progress and earlier this year it emerged some applications linked to the scheme had been withdrawn. Brendan Hughes has more.

Communities Minster has begun his response to the debate. We have yet to see any meaningful construction on the ground. There is growing frustration among key stakeholders.

There is clearly work going on between @CommunitiesNI and City Council. @gordonlyons1 says: ‘the status quo is not acceptable.’

Communities Minister will bring together a meeting of all interested stakeholders including Castlebrooke and political parties. This will happen quickly

Deirdre Hargey would like to see a Ministerial led approach, perhaps with a few Ministers working together. This approach has worked before

Deirdre Hargey - we need to make sure that development happens alongside communities, in partnership.

And @MatthewOToole2 calls on Executive action to intervene on Cathedral Quarter. Looks forward to hearing from Minister on this issue

Matthew O’Toole also decry the ‘preposterous’ title of Tribeca. Also calls out widespread failure to collect appropriate rates. Assembly passed motion on that last year but no action followed.
