Belfast City Council are to look at setting up a dedicated cleansing “task force” following growing concerns about littering in the city centre as well as missed collections and fly tipping.
At the council’s Standards and Business Committee meeting this week, Sinn Fein’s Ciaran Beattie tabled a motion to set up an urgent cross party body to radically change the approach of the local authority to street cleaning and bin emptying.
The motion states: “This council will establish a Cleansing Task Force, to address the escalating problem of street cleanliness in both neighbourhoods and the city centre, and the service delivery of bin collection.
