Streetscape improvements to this busy retail area in West Belfast were developed along with community groups and traders, to increase the quality of environment and experience for those who live, work and shop here.

The project includes high quality natural stone paving, street lighting, mature street tree planting, decorative metalwork, seating and the rationalisation of vehicular movement and parking. A number of local schools were involved in the project with the creation of a ‘poetry path’ with poems and images engraved in the paving and on decorative lighting columns. This strong and consistent community involvement in the design and delivery of the project culminated in tree planting by the school children and the Social Development Minister.
