About

Merok ward covers a residential portion of the Sydenham area in east Belfast. It is situated near the George Best Belfast City Airport and the industrial lands along Belfast Lough. The housing is primarily made up of terraced homes and apartment complexes, serving a local population. The ward includes the grounds of the former Harland and Wolff shipyard recreation club, reflecting the area's industrial heritage.

The ward is bounded by major transport routes, including the Sydenham Bypass and the railway line to Bangor. Open green space is provided by Victoria Park, which lies just outside its southern boundary. The area is functional, with local commercial activity focused on the main roads. The presence of the airport's runway extension into the lough is a dominant feature of the northern landscape.
