This is depressing, what a lack of ambition. So we have hoards of tourists (apparently) in Belfast city centre. Let’s put arts and culture events on, run artisan markets where local goods can be sold, pop up play areas, close streets and have food trucks…..no…. Open Marks and Sparks and Primark. What a depressing council we have What about the workers? They have choice to work apparently. Sure, they can’t be forced, but if you’re on a part time contract or zero hours contract are you really saying no? Open the shops, that’s the height of ambition in this city, maybe make the city centre look nicer and people might want to come in!
