NEW: 18th century Assembly Rooms in Belfast may soon be taken out of private ownership & bought by Belfast City Council. Potential deal being considered. Alliance leader at City Hall Michael Long is hopeful.

Wilmont House presently owned by BCC may still look relatively solid from the outside, but the interior reveals its actual state. Council stategy here and at Floral Hall seems to be let them crumble away. Full walkthrough on FB facebook.com/AbandonedNi/vi… (Images, BT/ Abandoned NI)

'The owner of a listed building in Ballycastle has applied for permission to demolish it, saying it is unsafe and uneconomical to repair.' Perhaps prior to an application to build apartments? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Loving the rainy CGI. New images give first look at exterior of Belfast’s only art-deco picturehouse irishnews.com/news/business/…

The Irish News #BFTWNI Named and Shamed “Council really needs to be strong on this. It’s a similar story to the Antrim Arms in Ballycastle,” another historic building which the owners are currently seeking to demolish after it has fallen into disrepair. tinyurl.com/yh3ap234

The question is - what did it take to convince these MLAs & Cllrs to ignore the evidence & back this horrific project? 🤔 ESPECIALLY the Chair of Stormont’s Environment Committee 😡

Government often claimed that the operators hid their criminality behind legitimate businesses. Untrue. Both companies were permitted to operate way beyond planning regulation and environmental laws. One received significant public money while causing serious harm #Systemfailni

There are 14,125 PBSA beds built/in development/approved in Belfast. Despite UU asserting enough supply exists for its current & future needs, and QUB revising its numbers (due to falling Intl students), Belfast CC appear to believe there is still 'unmet demand' for c2k PBSA beds

The number of student accommodation rooms either built, in development, or approved in Belfast has now reached 15,000 (15,020 to be precise).

Manchester's earliest surviving textile mill, Medlock Mill has mysteriously burnt down overnight. It's yet another mill fire where development and listing are being proposed for an historic building which then burns down..

Built heritage... fire breaking out... where's that ever happened before!

Nobody here is suggesting a developer will benefit from this in any way. It's just a random fire in an old building. Photo from, Newry.ie

The Mobuoy illegal superdump could damage human health for more than a century – & cost taxpayers £107m to even partially make safe....yet the businessmen responsible gave the judge sob stories that getting caught hurt their own health & finances. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/mo…

McAleer & Rushe, MRP, ES North St Ltd, or whatever you call them. Seems the developers that levelled part of North Street and have vacant built heritage that mysteriously catches fire are going into the hospitality business and stealing other businesses names on the way.

"This is a huge moment for our city. I am delighted we have been able to secure the future of this historic building and am excited for what the next chapter of this culturally significant site will hold." - Councillor @ainegroogan  newsletter.co.uk/heritage-and-r…
