Bonfire builders up the ante in East Belfast with more material dumped on Greenway site
It's a story we first brought you in January. It all kicked off after we asked why pallets were being left, six months before the annual 11th night bonfires in east Belfast.
It's a story we first brought you in January. It all kicked off after we asked why pallets were being left, six months before the annual 11th night bonfires in east Belfast. The next day bonfire collectors had a message for this programme, a "F*** Stephen Nolan" banner was placed over the pallets and a picture of them with it was posted online. Now even more material - including toxic tyres - have been dumped at a controversial bonfire site in east Belfast a pathway that forms part of the £40m Connswater Community Greenway project. Stephen gets reaction from UUP councillor Jim Rodgers and community worker Phil Hamilton.
Also on the programme, has a scheme which helps severely vulnerable children in Belfast, become the first victim of the Stormont stalemate? Extern, the charity which runs the service, says they received a letter last Friday telling them their funding is being stopped. Stephen spoke to Extern CEO Charlie Mack who says people have been left 'shocked, devastated and angry' by the decision.
