I received the report of the Moore Street Consultative Group on 29 March 2017.

The Group, which includes political representatives, relatives and other stakeholders, was set up in a bid to bring together the range of views on Moore Street. I welcome the fact that the report is seeking a way forward based on consensus. I believe that its recommendations can help breathe new life into the Moore Street area, while at the same time retaining its sense of history and enhancing its traditional street market.

The report signals the potential of a negotiated outcome, balancing the perspectives of the key stakeholders. It recommends the establishment of a new Advisory Group to advance the process. I am fully supportive of this constructive approach and I want to see the work of the Group being built upon, so we can progress to the next stage.
