The council is conducting an online survey
Members of the public are being asked to give their opinions on how alleyways should be transformed in Belfast.
Belfast City Council is conducting a public survey to help gather information on what residents and organisations would like to see happen as part of its Alleyway Transformations initiative.
The council is particularly interested in gathering thoughts about the alleyways closest to contributor’s homes. The information provided will help inform and shape any future plans to use alleyways differently, and to ensure it is something that residents are interested in. The short survey can be found here

The council says: “In the event that the council is successful in securing funding for Alleyway Transformations, we are conducting this survey to help gather information on what local residents and organisations would like to see happen if an Alleyway transformation project were to occur.
“Alleyway Transformation is the process of transforming local alleyways, from what are often neglected areas, into places that residents can use and enjoy. Your feedback will shape plans for how we might use alleyways differently and help us secure funding to support this work.
“We also want to know your thoughts about participating in improvement work such as this and how residents and community groups would like to be involved in this initiative or similar volunteering moving forward.”
Residents in May this year celebrated 10 years of Wildflower Alley in the Holyland area. Locals transformed a derelict, unsafe space into a vibrant gathering spot and community garden.
The project began with the Grow Wild Campaign and now features public art, the growing of vegetables and flowers, sustainable drainage and a focus on neighbourhood revitalisation. It inspired other green alley initiatives across the city.
The alley now serves as a gathering point for local residents to socialise, relax, and hold community events. It also serves as an educational space, promoting environmental awareness and community gardening.
