East Belfast Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle said: “The Big Lunch Street Party is a brilliant idea and a really positive model for improving community spirit and encouraging people to get to know their neighbours in a safe and friendly manner.

“I would congratulate the residents of Shaw Street, East Belfast for being part of this event and for bringing people from all ages and backgrounds together for their own thoroughly enjoyable street gathering.”

“It is encouraging to see such an inclusive event taking place in Northern Ireland and one that if properly supported could make a significant contribution towards tackling social isolation and fostering more cohesive neighbourhoods across our community.”
