A member of the new Belfast Cleansing Task Force has said he is “sceptical” about the new council body.
SDLP Councillor Séamas de Faoite, and member of Belfast City Council’s new task force, said “a much broader approach” was needed to the worsening problem of what is becoming known as 'Dirty Belfast'.
The first meeting of the new task force was held on Wednesday. It consisted of members from each party, senior council management and cleansing management, and was convened by the Lord Mayor, with officer recommendations to be returned this month.
