Cllr Jones, who is a member of the Council’s housing liaison committee, said: “I am very pleased the Hosing Executive has committed itself to this vital regeneration scheme.
“Its great news that 253 properties in the Parkgate and Newtownards Road areas will be improved as part of the scheme.
“This project will play an important role in the regeneration of inner East Belfast and will give the area a significant boost.”
