It's a story we first brought you in January. It all kicked off after we asked why pallets were being left, six months before the annual 11th night bonfires, in East Belfast. The next day bonfire collectors had a message for this programme, a "F*** Stephen Nolan" banner was placed over the pallets and a picture of them with it was posted online. Now even more material - including toxic tyres - have been dumped at a controversial bonfire site in East Belfast a pathway that forms part of the £40m Connswater Community Greenway project. Outgoing Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt tweeted at the weekend about it saying "Burning tyres is not culture". Now Belfast City Council is coming under pressure to remove the bonfire material. Stephen got reaction from UUP councillor Jim Rodgers and community worker Phil Hamilton.
