Rebekah McCabe from Save CQ said:
“The heart of the city centre is to be demolished and replaced with something generic."
“It feels like the city is being held to ransom by this investment company and their need to turn a profit."

"These beautiful panels show why the Assembly Rooms is one of Belfast’s most historic and culturally significant assets & we want to conserve, reinvigorate & reuse it [to] benefit our citizens [and] act as a catalyst for further city centre regeneration."

“These are not just shops; they are informal community hubs, economic lifelines, and keepers of local culture.
“Their loss strips away not only jobs, but the sense of place that makes a city feel like itself."

Andy Burnham stopped off at the Cathedral Quarter on Thursday during his first visit to Northern Ireland since becoming Prime Minister.
Mr Burnham is in Belfast for the latest part of his cost-of-living tour of the UK, and will be hearing from young people before meeting with Stormont political leaders where talks are expected to be dominated by the budget crisis.
