Only one Catholic family now remains in a new housing development in north Belfast after a series of attacks and threats forced others to leave their homes.
The development at Alloa Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland, was opened last November, with houses allocated to families from different sectarian backgrounds.
An event to welcome residents last December was attended by Brian Kingston, the DUP MLA for North Belfast. However, tensions grew in May when a Catholic family was attacked and threatened. They remained in place after what was locally described as an approach to loyalists, though both politicians and paramilitaries have denied knowledge of any “deal”.
