Relocate The Big Wheel
A monstrous tourist attraction, such as Belfast's Big Wheel, clearly has a recreational role to play; though how many visitors it attracts to the city is debatable.
I certainly do not object to its existence in principle; though I do find its location beside Belfast's finest Edwardian edifice incongruous and objectionable, in an aesthetic sense.
I urge City Councillors to reject any planning application for the Wheel to be sited at Donegall Square; and, instead, to recommend that it receives permission to be re-located to the Titanic Quarter in Belfast.
