BONFIRE material has been gathered near a new social housing development where UVF flags still fly months after concerns were first raised.
The Irish News first reported in March that loyalists had staked a claim on the site in Carryduff, Co Down by putting up UVF logos and flags and painting fences red, white and blue.
Tenants are due to move into around 40 new homes by the end of the summer in the predominantly unionist Killynure estate, on the outskirts of south Belfast, although it is believed the allocation of homes has been stalled until after the marching season.
A bonfire is due to be lit this evening adjacent to Killynure Green, close to the housing development.
The PSNI said it had received "a number of complaints" in relation to flags at the site but indicated that officers would not be removing them.
Chief Inspector Derek McCamley said: "The experience within policing shows that the approach most likely to resolve these issues is based on the principles of engagement between local communities, working with statutory agencies including local police and resulting in local decision-making."
In a statement, Choice Housing - formerly Oaklee Trinity - said it was "aware of concerns regarding flags" and the presence of the bonfire near the new properties.
A spokeswoman said: "We remain committed to proactively addressing sensitive issues and will continue to work with the community, statutory authorities and public representatives. Whilst agreements cannot always be quickly achieved we will endeavour to pursue an outcome that is acceptable to all."
UUP councillor Michael Henderson said in March that meetings were ongoing between Choice Housing, Killynure Community Association and elected representatives about the flags.
The Carryduff representative said: "No-one knows who put the flags up in the first place and no-one is willing to take them down. Everyone living near the site is appalled.
"Everyone is welcome in Carryduff, regardless of race, colour or creed."
