'We sat in mummy's living room and counted about 20 rats, it is awful'
Residents in North Belfast have called on the council and DFI to sort out an overgrown alleyway which runs alongside their homes.
"You can't get your bins out, it is challenging. We went up the other night and you are walking through a forest. Some residents haven't been able to get their bins up. A Department for Infrastructure spokesperson told Belfast Live that it has "no specific statutory obligation to remove weeds, other than in relation to the control of noxious weeds and has policies and procedures in place in relation to weed control, aimed at ensuring the safety of road users and preventing the deterioration of the road pavement".
"While pest control and cleansing is a matter for the local council, we will continue to work in conjunction with them to have these issues addressed.
