There has been a call to invest in a "crumbling street" in Belfast City Centre where most of the businesses have closed and there are no street lights.
Businesses on North Street say that over the past few years the area has been "forgotten about" leading it to be full of empty and boarded up properties and a hotspot for anti-social behaviour.
They have told Belfast Live that the area has been in decline for a decade and they believe that more needs to be done to improve the street which is just a few yards away from the Cathedral Quarter and Royal Avenue.
