Debris on the Lagan, Belfast (2)
See J3371 : Debris on the Lagan, Belfast. Belfast escaped the worst of yesterday’s weather of heavy snow (especially here C7605 : Glenshane. "The Glenshane Pass" and C7704 : Glenshane Pass where there were drifts up to five feet deep). Instead there was heavy/torrential rain and strong to gale force north easterly winds throughout the day and well into the night. Some debris had accumulated on the Lagan against the Stranmillis weir. Cointinue to J3474 : Debris on the Lagan, Belfast (3).
The Stranmillis weir, Belfast

Stranmillis Weir, close to the Lockview Road, is currently the limit of navigation on the Lagan. There was a plan to replace it and re-open the Lagan Navigation to Lisburn A further plan envisages a new cut from Lisburn to Lough Neagh.

There is the following planning permission (25 September 2017 – application on 15 December 2015) “LA04/2016/0041/F Lagan gateway project includes: the provision of a new boat lock at Stranmillis to allow the passage of boats past the weir, new footbridge and path linking Annadale embankment with Stranmillis and paths to Belvoir Park. Works involve working in the river Lagan near an existing weir and fish pass and constructing a footbridge near a scheduled monument area (historical lock) (Environmental Statement received) Site located at the weir at Stranmillis near Belfast Boat Club BT9 5FJ”.
This approval does not envisage the removal of the existing weir.
