J3473 : The Allstate Maysfields site, Belfast - May 2016(4)
taken 10 years ago, near to Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland

A site, at Maysfields, close to Central station for which there is (8 December 2015) the following planning permission “Z/2015/0182/F New office development (6 storey with roof plant) with realignment of existing car parking, infilling of slipways, refurbishment of marina steps, creation of new cycleway, new area of open space and associated landscaping. Lands adjacent to East Bridge Street and accessed off Laganbank Road located between former Maysfield Leisure Centre and Central Station Belfast BT1 3PB”.
A scheme to make public-hire bicycles available in Belfast. The following is a part quotation from the official Coca-Cola Zero Belfast Bikes website Link
“The Belfast Bikes scheme is an exciting way to link up the city. The scheme will be launched in April [2015] and there are 30 docking stations located throughout the city centre which offer residents and visitors to Belfast a new low cost and convenient way to travel for quick trips around the city. Just pre-register as a casual or annual user and the first 30 minutes of each trip are free of charge . . . . . Belfast bikes are available to rent 365 days a year. Renting a bike is easy using our station kiosk, the mobile app, or by calling the hotline. You can return your bike at any official Belfast Bikes docking station. You can rent up to four Belfast Bikes at the same time. nextbike are the provider of the Belfast Bikes system and our members can rent bikes from all nextbike schemes in cities worldwide without registering again.”
