About Renewing the Routes

Different projects in the Renewing the Routes Initiative

The arterial routes of Belfast are more than just bricks and mortar. These areas were once the focus of thriving neighbourhoods in the city but they have experienced serious decline over past decades and are in need of investment.

We deliver regeneration projects working side by side with local people, businesses and agencies to bring out the best in these important areas.

The result, visible transformations that conserve the unique character of each community and inspire further regeneration.

Our activities

Projects take place on the main road frontage and can include:

cosmetic improvements to building façades in commercial areas
improvements to shared public spaces
heritage site enhancement
action on graffiti.

We invested £600,000 in the latest phase of the Renewing The Routes urban regeneration programme which focused on the following roads:

Antrim Road in north Belfast
Castlereagh Street in east Belfast
Grosvenor Road in west Belfast
Sandy Row in south Belfast.

The next phase of work will be on the ground from spring 2013. This phase will focus on Lower Newtownards Road in the east of the city and Ormeau Road in the south of the city.
