Belfast City Council plans to install dual-language signs on Stormont Park, a residential road next to the Northern Ireland Assembly grounds. A resident survey recorded 15.66 per cent support for adding the Irish name Pairc Chnoc an Anfa. The result exceeds the council's 15 per cent threshold by 0.66 percentage points.

Survey responses totalled 13 households in favour and 56 against. The council committee will review the proposal at its next meeting. The policy requires installation once the support level is met, regardless of opposition numbers.

A parallel case affects Onslow Gardens off Cregagh Road in east Belfast. There, 25 per cent of respondents backed Gairdini Onslow signs, exceeding the threshold despite 35 per cent opposition.

Council guidelines changed a few years ago to approve Irish signs above 15 per cent support. Approvals have surpassed totals from the prior 24 years under tighter rules. No applications for signs in other languages have succeeded. Requests originate from individual residents or local councillors.
