NEWS: CCTV launched in Holylands

Friday, March 12th, 2010

A pilot scheme of 12 CCTV cameras in Holylands was introduced yesterday at a press conference led by Belfast City Council. They will be installed over a 4 day period at a cost of £100,000,  and will operate through a wireless network which will be monitored 24/7 from Musgrave Police Station and the emergency centre at the City Hall on St. Patricks Day.

COMMENT: Exploiting indebted student drivers?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Finding a parking space around Queen’s is a nightmare. Students who have saved and paid to learn the valuable skill to drive,  and paid to insure and tax their cars, are being forced to abandon them in their driveways because it is simply impossible to find a space to park around Queen’s. This is an accepted grievance for student commuters who are getting up hours before lectures just to park. However, rumours of the introduction of paid parking around the city centre campus will not only frustrate local businesses but force indebted students to fork out even more to receive a university education.
