Maskey calls for short-term moratorium on Glassmullin Gardens development

Speaking on the controversy on a proposed development at Glassmullin Gardens in Andersonstown local Sinn Féin MLA Alex Maskey said:

“I am disappointed that the community and La Salle school are in conflict about the proposed development by the school of a green field site at Glassmullin Gardens, which has resulted in a stand-off between residents and contractors.

“I have engaged with the local community and a residents’ group and with the school.

“I have urged them to engage in dialogue, facilitated by independents who have a track record in community projects, to find a way forward.

“Even at this late hour I believe it is possible to find a solution to meet the needs of the local community and the school. 

“I have contacted the Permanent Secretary of the Department of Education to ask for a short-term moratorium on the project to enable such a dialogue to take place.”

The deal between London & Brussels is done. There can be no more excuses for blocking an Assembly.

People’s patience is worn out.

The democratic outcome of the Assembly election must be respected.

We need an Assembly up & running now to support workers, families & communities.
