East Belfast residents have been left upset and frustrated after a gate was installed and welded shut, blocking a popular path.
The gate has been put in place on the path between Orby Green and Orby Link, in the Castlereagh Road area, which had been "used for years" by local residents who felt that it was safer than walking along the main road when going to the shops.
It is understood it has been installed by the management company for the nearby block of flats, The Courtyard, who have said that the path is not a public right of way - something that the local residents dispute.
