He said: "This behaviour is deplorable and is a clear attempt to mark out territory and create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.
"Despite this, Castlereagh DUP councillor Vikki Nelson said the erection of the flags and the slogans are linked to what she described as 'sectarian concerns' and fears that the houses would be allocated to people from the Markets and the Ormeau Road.
"Both the councillor and her party need to clarify exactly what she means by these remarks."
