Residents of Belfast have come under attack because demolitions “like an earthquake” in the middle of the night keep them awake

Residents of South Belfast were attacked after being awake by midnight by the demolitions that “felt like an earthquake”.

A woman who lives on Lisburn Road, in Tates Street and Ashley Avenue, says she was unable to sleep on Saturday night after the demolition work behind her home began around 8 p.m. and continued until after 3 a.m. the next day.

The building being demolished is the former bank at the intersection of Lisburn Road and Tates Street.

Belfast City Council said it received no advance notice that demolition work will take place at the site over the weekend.

“We were not told that this work would be done and that it would continue for hours in the early morning.”
