Sinn Fein councillor Danny Lavery has called on the Housing Executive
to secure a North Belfast entry beside a school playground, which is
being used as a dumping site by illegal fly tippers.
"Belfast City Council workers were called out this week to do a major
clean-up of an entry which runs at the back of Wyndham Street and
alongside Bunscoil Bheann Mhadagain," said Danny Lavery.
"The entry was absolutely filthy after the Christmas period due to
illegal fly tipping. It is not secure and local people have told me
that fly tippers are arriving in vans and dumping their rubbish there.
"This problem has been allowed to run for some time now and it
presents a major health hazard to local people and the schoolchildren
alike.
"I am calling on the Housing Executive to ensure that the entry is
properly secured to prevent this illegal dumping happening in future.
"I would like to thank the council's cleansing department for their
swift response to my request for action but I am also asking council
enforcement officers to check the rubbish to see if there are any
clues as to who is responsible for the dumping."
