BIG NEWS for #SaveCrumlinRoadCourthouse - a new Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) for a 'neurodiversity campus.' No more info yet, but keep your eyes peeled for public consultation to come.
Listening to the report of the soldier F trial and how he is surrounded by a curtain in court reminded me of this taken in Crumlin road courthouse. There was a curtain rail around this too. I think there were super grass trails held there.
"The Crumlin Road is very much a microcosm for the rest of the city, and nothing sums up our missed opportunities like the juxtaposition between two adjacent listed buildings there which previously played a hugely significant role during our darkest days – the courthouse and the prison."

Solutions are needed to deal with the growing threat of vacancy and arson. Collaboration is needed between Government departments and Councils urgently to utilise/meanwhile use these undeveloped sites, otherwise we risk losing them forever.
8 fires in 7 months this year at Listed Buildings in Northern Ireland! The recent Condition Report published by HED notes that 33% of listed buildings surveyed were noted as being vacant. All 8 fires were in vacant listed buildings.

🚨In what will hopefully be a turning point in the whole sorry Castlebrooke saga, the Council has today officially agreed to make them an offer to buy the Assembly Rooms.🚨
Thank you to @ainegroogan and @Briansmyth99 for their heroic work on this.

The contrasting fortunes of two Victorian buildings on the same Belfast street.
One transformed into a popular tourist attraction, the other lying empty and derelict.
