1638527464216358912 | Good to see the flood relief scheme on the Lagan Towpath is working well. They'll probably need to chop down a few more trees!!!! @deptinfra @belfastcc 🙈🙈🙈🥽🏊♂️🚳 https://t.co/ec5V4E6XBz | 61 |
1638213453960626177 | More than a decade of free charging for electric vehicle drivers in Northern Ireland will come to an end on 26th April 2023. Read our take on the changes and get all the @ESBGroup pricing details for #NorthernIreland here - https://t.co/DwKQPCARnC #EVANI @deptinfra @Economy_NI https://t.co/e3GsTmsYoV | 13 |
1638835846106234880 | Busy day yesterday. We co-hosted a workshop with @Wheels4Well about barriers to cycling for disabled people and how we can deliver the right to cycle for everyone. Thanks to colleagues from @deptinfra @Translink_NI @CommunitiesNI @belfastcc for fantastic engagement. https://t.co/DxMMBjgwjy | 12 |
1638533592585326597 | As of 2020, a missed health appointment cost the health service £170. CT is helping frontline services to save money. 58,000+ trips enabled people with learning disabilities, to access education, training or employment. @DeptInfra @NIAssembly must do all they can to #SaveOurCT https://t.co/oRIZ6FmEFs | 11 |
1638871184681861125 | Great to see @frank_broadcast speaking out on @deptinfra’s bizarre and deeply troubling policy of attempting flood alleviation through a method of environmental vandalism that has been in operation from Belfast to Newry and beyond. https://t.co/a82dmZp5ct | 9 |
1639235629178589186 | Clocks go forward this weekend! The brighter days will encourage many to change their travel from the car to walking or cycling. It's better for your health & the environment. If you make the change, make sure you do it safely>> https://t.co/uKRSHxttAL @deptinfra @niroadpolicing https://t.co/RsrYyjPLr5 | 9 |
1640386220319539205 | "We've got 4 days of funding left. We need clarity and we need to know what's happening." -Noeleen Lynch, CTA's Director for England tells @StephenNolan on the @bbcnolan show today. Listen here 👉https://t.co/DVBZlFxOdX @deptinfra @niassembly, see our asks:👇 https://t.co/9p9e342vmM | 9 |
1639159114721886208 | This is utterly infuriating. Make it possible for our children to walk, roll or ride safely to school. This is not a radical idea. We should not have to campaign for this. This should be the norm @deptinfra https://t.co/K9JHsfb0qX | 8 |
1638904086744514565 | https://t.co/STah9UGOc2 @deptinfra have a duty to (a) to explain why the Governor's Bridge underpass is flooding, making people's - including schoool children's - journeys more dangerous (b) fix it with a restoration plan (trees/hedges) and upgraded mechanical drainage | 8 |
1639313939140952089 | Solastalgia, Ep 5: The Silent Hedge The story of one man's response to destruction (as part of the @deptinfra Belfast Tidal Flood Alleviation scheme) of the mature, native 'Singing Hedge' - once home to a loud, healthy colony of sparrows - now silent. https://t.co/iYKO0JNULs https://t.co/A5sDFKJquR | 8 |

1638175458721415171 | Are things changing in the @deptinfra? Elements of DfI reinstatement plans for the Lagan towpath; Cutters Wharf to Belfast Boat Club section. Maple, hawthorn, rowan, birch, hornbeam, hazel, whitebeam, native hedge, wildflowers. "Retain dead trees for ecological value" 🥲 https://t.co/Xf3P8XSRxF | 69 |
1641004081115197440 | Imagine @belfastcc city centre was closed off to traffic! No more annoying clutter of traffic lights, traffic signs, traffic calming measures, bus stops that aren’t used and clutter on our footpaths that are built for cars/busses/lorries. @Translink_NI @deptinfra #PedestrianiseIt https://t.co/ttUOtNBW6A | 63 |
1639313093418270724 | I've reported to @deptinfra as emergency, a large pothole on Ormeau Rd, past the roundabout, before the turn into Rosetta Way. Been informed of cars that have been damaged. The road is always busy & vehicles are swerving into the right hand lane, which could lead to an accident https://t.co/xtXdcDbmHU | 45 |
1641146165407121432 | You often wonder if @Translink_NI and the @deptinfra and other departments came together and used this spare space for cycle lanes for safer journeys in and out of Belfast shielding cyclists from traffic https://t.co/aSx0NLFMvL | 39 |
1638213453960626177 | More than a decade of free charging for electric vehicle drivers in Northern Ireland will come to an end on 26th April 2023.

1640793345755869184 | @CircleLineBT @BelfastUrbanist @belfastairport @deptinfra BFS Airport Rail Station, coming soon.... https://t.co/TalKhx5vBT | 37 |
1638200878657150976 | Is anyone surprised? This is by design. @deptinfra build roads, and nothing else. There was never going to be a different outcome. @DfIPermSec https://t.co/LPMiHYt9j3 | 36 |
1638454489026887683 | And again the cycle route on Bankmore st is blocked. Note they don’t want to block the cars? @deptinfra @SustransNI @CyclingUK_NI @PSNIBelfast @NBCycleCampaign @belfastcc https://t.co/w9m3YSqqwf https://t.co/bm5driOlF9 | 36 |
1641178652267167748 | Bradbury place, once lined with these aged flowering trees. Stunning and it made the area. Developers take over a building site, cut the trees down which weren’t theirs. What did @belfastcc and @deptinfra do? Slap on the wrist. Planning losses and a heavy fine https://t.co/DjqnH57R6D | 33 |
