Unfortunately we cannot comment further on the BBC news story which you may have seen yesterday regarding the Connswater Community Greenway project.

Belfast City Council is still involved in a legal process with the contractor and is not in a position to comment in detail with regard to the outcome of the independent conciliation report. We and Belfast City Council hope that there will be a speedy conclusion to enable the CCG to be completed as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

We will provide further updates as soon as we can.
