Serious Concerns After Needles Found In West Belfast Flats
Serious concerns have been raised after needles were discovered at flats in west Belfast.
Sinn Féin Councillor Mary McConville said the Ross Street flats have become a hotspot for anti-social behaviour.
She said: "Entrances into the flats were defaced and rubbish scattered over a wide area of the flats.
"I would ask parents and people in the area to be vigilant.
"Needles used by drug users were among the items abandoned in the flats.
"This is very dangerous and whoever is responsible has no concern about the safety of those in the area."
