16 other UK cities remain part of the Eurocities network
A split has emerged within the DUP over a £16,000 annual membership fee spent by Belfast Council to retain membership of a European city network.
Eurocities is a network of more than 200 major European cities, across 38 countries. It is made up of the elected local and municipal governments of the major cities. “There are still opportunities for the city, not least through opportunities to host some of the Eurocities forum events, and we are hoping to host the culture forum in 2024.”
One DUP Councillor however showed a more positive perspective on the scheme. Councillor for Titanic Sammy Douglas said: “It has been there for decades now, and I remember being on one of these programmes. One of the benefits I have seen is that councillors who in those days didn’t even talk to one another would go away and actually build relationships.”
