Since January we've been reporting on bonfire material being left in East Belfast. Pallets and toxic tyres were dumped at a controversial bonfire site beside the £40m Connswater Community Greenway project. Collectors even had a message for Stephen when we first started discussing this, a "F*** Stephen Nolan" banner was placed over the pallets and a picture of them with it was posted online. At the time Stephen said he would like the opportunity to speak to one of the bonfire builders to get a better understanding of things from their perspective. A group representing them has taken up that offer and is in the studio this morning, Robert Osborne from Bloomfield Community Support Group, who was a head bonfire collector in recent years. Also joining Stephen was loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson.
