Belfast is a “friendly, caring and compassionate” city according to a new residents survey, but people are feeling increasingly unsafe at night.
Results from Belfast Council’s biannual study were revealed at the recent meeting of the council's Strategic Policy and Resources committee, and showed positive results on the whole.
Council officers interviewed 1,504 people aged over 16 years between November 15 and December 12 last year, with quotas applied to ensure a representative cross-section of the population of Belfast, by age, gender, social class and geographical area.
