I want to inform readers that SBACT are currently engaged in active work throughout South Belfast. This work includes the positive re-imaging of communities assisting local artists to display culturally acceptable murals and paintings. Other work includes engaging with ther communities on interface areas to reduce the tension and explore community problems and issues. This work is ignored by our friends in the media who unfortunately want to highlight brazen lies in an attempt to damage lifelong relationships. Its not working.

This week South Belfast ACT (a fully constituted part the the ACT Initiative) will invite residents of Donegall Pass to share their concerns about housing issues and to inform each other of those persons not able to get a tenancy. Other local housing issues will be heard and a plan developed of how this disadvantaged community can address te housing issues that impact upon them. Volunteers from ACT delivered 500 leaflets on a door to door basis to inform residents. The meeting will take place in Donegall Pass Community Centre on Wed 05 June at 7pm. Its important we encourage residents to come along and air their views. Well done to the organisers of this meeting. A report will follow the meeting so watch this space.
