North Belfast Sinn Féin Councillor Danny Lavery has warned young people a life could be lost unless they stay away from a derelict building in which they are taking drugs and lighting fires.
Lavery said youths are gathering at the site of the former North Belfast Employment Centre on Oldpark Terrace and are making lives a misery for local residents.
"The young people are creeping in through a gap in the fence, sniffing glue and lighting fires and generally involving themselves in antisocial behaviour and it has to stop. By setting fires someone could get killed or seriously hurt.
"They have to stop going into the site now before real damage is done. The site is sitting derelict and is no longer in use, however whoever owns it still needs to do their bit to ensure it is secure and intruders cannot get in.
“I am trying to find the owner of the site - because it isn’t the Department of Employment and Learning - to see if it can be secured,” said Lavery.
