Belfast councillors have been told people think the city is “dirty and unclean”.
Elected representatives at City Hall this week warned of a residential “crisis in confidence” in the state of the council’s cleansing efforts amid a growing storm concerning littering, fly tipping, missed collections and graffiti.
All parties came together at Tuesday’s People and Communities Committee to back a 'Cleansing Task Force', consisting of members from each party, senior management and cleansing management, to be convened by the Lord Mayor and with officer recommendations to be returned this month.
