Businesses in the Cathedral Quarter are calling for police to do more to stop the area becoming a hotspot for drugs and anti-social behaviour.
The Cathedral Quarter is a popular part of Belfast city centre that is known for its pubs, restaurants and nightlife, however in recent months there have been growing concerns regarding drug users and dealers coming to the area.
It has been alleged that some of the issues stem from two apartment blocks located in the area where drugs are being dealt from. One business owner said they have seen constant drug deals coming from them, including one occasion where drugs were dropped down from an upper floor apartment with a piece of string to those waiting below.
