Merok is an electoral ward in Belfast, Northern Ireland, covering a predominantly residential patch of the city with a mix of older terraces, post‑war housing and some more recent developments. Local life is organised around small shops, schools and community facilities, and the ward is defined primarily for local government and electoral purposes within the council area.
Like many parts of Belfast, Merok has been shaped by the city’s industrial past and the social changes of the late 20th century; community groups and regeneration projects play a visible role in everyday life. Local politics tend to focus on housing, public services, transport and investment in shared spaces, with councillors and neighbourhood organisations active in delivering improvements and supporting cohesion.
