The residents are looking forward to a community festival beginning on Wednesday. The gathering of local musicians, street theatre, fun for children, including face painting, and a new mural being painted are all meant to lift the spirits of the residents during this tense time. Feelings of anxiety and fear continue to mount due to the intimidation of the loyalists blockading the Nationalist area. Community workers are organising the event to help alleviate the growing strain of the siege that holds the residents hostage to the Orange Order encampent less than a mile away.
