Residents have said Stranmillis along with the Holyland area and the Lower Lisburn Road have become Belfast's 'forgotten neighbourhoods'
Stranmillis residents have said their area is "becoming a mess" as bins sit for weeks on end in the street and they are frequently woken at night by fireworks.
"There can be some streets where there could be 60 bins sitting there all week after being collected and some that are never collected at all due to the mess they have been left in. "This year we have had issues with fireworks being set off late at night alongside the disruption from parties. There are some people who have moved here recently who have had to leave the area due to the ongoing problems.
“For example, although fly-tipping in the entries here is a year-round problem, the issue really came to a head during the summer with a massive increase in the amounts being dumped and how often it was happening, and while frontline staff do a fantastic job in trying to respond to problems like this when they arise and enforcement has been increased, there does seem to be a disjointedness and lack of strategic approach.
"It would also mean that no one has any excuse for not knowing what to do with their waste. We also need an audit to check that there are adequate bins and recycling kit to cover the number of people living here, and that lifts are taking place as planned, to reduce the problem of overflowing.
