A Belfast City Council committee has voted to remove materials from two bonfire sites.
The decision came following a special meeting of the council's Strategic Policy and Resources Committee.
Yesterday contractors removed 1,800 tyres from a bonfire on London Road near Ravenhill Road.
In a statement following today's meeting a council spokeswoman said: "It was decided to act in the public interest and, given the level of concern regarding bonfires at Avoniel and Ashdale Street car park, that action would be taken to remove materials.
"Efforts have been ongoing for several months to encourage bonfire builders to be mindful of the need to protect life and property, and not to burn tyres.
"Belfast City Council has worked hard to engage with communities on the issue of bonfires, and its Bonfire and Cultural Expression Programme has had the highest number of applicants this year (35). The programme encourages bonfire builders to adhere to guidance which prohibits the use of tyres and hazardous materials. Beacons have also been provided for 16 sites.
"Belfast City Council's approach to managing bonfires is led by Elected Members. Council will continue to engage with community representatives to minimise any potential negative impact of bonfires on local residents.
"The Committee also made it clear that any acts aimed at intimidating elected representatives are unacceptable and should be condemned."
Sinn Féin councillor Ciaran Beattie welcomed the decision of the committee as "sensible".
"I welcome today's decision by all parties on Belfast City Council to remove bonfire materials and flags from council facilities at Avoniel and Ashdale Street," he said.
"This is a sensible decision made in the public interest and received cross-party support at today's meeting.
"Council premises should be welcoming places and council staff and service users should be able to use those facilities free from fear and intimidation."
Avoniel Leisure Centre was forced to shut yesterday after a group of men "barricaded and locked the entrance gates". The Avoniel bonfire has been built in the centre's car park.
The DUP group leader on the council George Dorrian said: "We'll be continuing to talk with the bonfire groups and anyone who is involved in the agencies to try and get these tyres removed from all the sites, and we can have a peaceful Eleventh Night.
"We don't support the removal of bonfires wholesale, we want to see safe bonfires, we want to see bonfires without tyres, we want to see bonfires which don't threaten or intimidate communities, that's what we want to see and that's what we'll be getting.
"The various parties have their positions to take, what we want to do is make sure these bonfires are safe and people can come out and enjoy themselves."
