The local authority has deferred discussing this year's bonfires until September
A council which has deferred discussing bonfires until September spent almost £42,000 last summer on repair, protection and clean-up costs at the sites.
But TUV said bonfire management is a "work in progress" and questioned the timing of the meeting, just weeks before the Eleventh Night. Craigyhill had the second-largest council spend with £2,345 on preparations such as protecting properties and £5,071 on clean-up costs, according to a Freedom of Information response to Belfast Live.
