Belfast Council has rejected a DUP motion calling for “unconditional support” for the PSNI with a knife-edge vote at City Hall.
At the April full meeting of Belfast City Council, elected members voted instead for a People Before Profit amendment which focused on anti-violence.
The original motion, forwarded by DUP Councillor Gareth Spratt, states that the council “expresses its full and unconditional support for the Police Service of Northern Ireland and stands with those officers who serve our community so magnificently on a daily basis”.
