Tyres at the site of a controversial bonfire were “dumped” there and have now been removed, organisers say.
In a statement, bonfire builders at the Adam Street site in North Belfast say a “small number of tyres that had been dumped were removed from the bonfire” and “are outside the site ready for collection”.
The statement was issued amid concerns raised by a North Belfast MLA over “toxic material” on the bonfire. The bonfire has been at the centre of some controversy and sits close to an interface with the New Lodge district.
