TYRES, pallets and other bonfire materials have been dumped on a multi-million-pound 'greenway' in east Belfast, just months after it opened.
The Alliance Party has called for the materials left on the Flora Street section of the £40 million Connswater Greenway to be removed immediately.
Pallets had been collected at the site since January but dozens of tyres, broken wood and an old sofa have since been added to the pile.
Alliance councillor David Armitage said the materials must be removed.
"The greenway is a positive celebration of all that is best about east Belfast," he said.
"We must recognise the area is a shared space which has been a boon to the area. There is clearly a wider issue around bonfires, their safe and legal construction, and communication with the local community on the matter.
"We have worked hard over the past few months with others to provide a new scheme in the area to prevent situations such as this occurring.
"I would call on those involved to remove these tyres voluntarily to ensure everyone has free enjoyment of the greenway."
Rows have broken out over bonfires in the area in the past.
Flora Street is just a short distance from Chobham Street where a huge eleventh night pyre has been built over the last two years, forcing some residents to temporarily leave their homes.
The dumping comes just days after a new bridge along the greenway was opened in honour of Belfast actor James Ellis.
Building work is still continuing on the greenway - a walking and cycle path which aims to connect CS Lewis Square at Holywood Arches with Victoria Park.
