Residents and politicians say they have been left disgusted and frustrated by fly-tipping and dumping in south Belfast.
Belfast City Council has said its aware of the "increased and recurring levels of fly-tipping" in South Belfast
Some alleyways in south Belfast have overflowing bins, rubbish bags, old take-away boxes and general household waste. Mr McKeown said there needs to be stronger enforcement from the local council for people who continue to dump waste. "We have had rat issues in the shop because of the littering and we had to get an exterminator," Mr Dowzell said."It kind of disheartens you really because we try our best to keep the shop clean, we've decorated and done loads of work on it."
