'People are struggling to afford to do their weekly shops due to the cost of living and a Lidl here would make a huge difference to the people here.'
A South Belfast community has called on the IFA to withdraw objections to plans for a Lidl on Boucher Road, saying that it would be a vital asset for the area.
Residents also said that they regularly put up with distrubtion associatated with match days and events at Windsor Park without complaint and that the IFA should not be looking to stop something that would be a huge benefit to their community. "At the moment people are having to go to shops that are either very expensive or in West Belfast where it can be difficult for those who don't drive to access.
Edwin Poots and councillor Kelly said they have been working with Belfast City Council to address any concerns regarding the application and said they would be speaking in favour of the proposals when they come to planning committee. Councillor Kelly said: "It is disappointing that the IFA have lodged an objection to this application considering the benefits that it would bring to the community here, along with the jobs boost that it would provide.
The IFA has lodged an objection to the application for the Lidl on Boucher Road, saying that it would “create a conflict of uses on major event days”.
