Mr Robinson said,

“The closure of Connswater Shopping Centre next Friday marks a sad day for East Belfast. It has been a part of our community for decades; this shocking loss will be deeply felt.

My thoughts are especially with those affected by uncertainty and job losses during this difficult time.

While the centre has been in visible decline for some time, it’s vital that the site remains of benefit to the people of the Newtownards Road and surrounding areas.

My colleagues and I will engage with the owners on forward steps and we will be available to assist anyone impacted in any way we can.”
