Sinn Féin councillor and Deputy Mayor Danny Lavery commended council staff for cleaning up an entry in North Belfast that was almost waist high in rubbish and infested with rats because of fly tippers.
Belfast City Council staff were forced to launch a major clean up of the alleyway this week after it became impassable because of the build up of rubbish.
The alleyway between Allworthy Avenue and Eia Street was cleared by council staff on Tuesday morning.
The Deputy Mayor of Belfast commended the council staff for their work and called on those dumping the rubbish to stop.
"The state of the entry way was an absolute disgrace, it was just an jungle and overcome with rats," said the Sinn Féin representative.
"I want to thank the council staff for coming out and clearing the alley. I know it is their job but the state of this one was particularly bad and they put their own health and safety at risk by clearing it.
"I want to call on those who are fly tipping and dumping rubbish to stop it immediately. They are harming their own community by acting like this."
