Fly-tipping site in Ballymagroarty cleared of rubbish after complaints

The clean-up took place after residents complained environmental vandals were treating Marianus Glen as a dump. Sinn Féin Councillor Mickey Cooper said: “I was contacted a few weeks ago by residents who were angry that a substantial amount of rubbish had been dumped in the Marianus Glen area. I asked the Councils waste enforcement team to visit Marianus Glen and to examine the fly tipping for evidence of the those involved. A major clean up of the area has now taken place and residents have contacted me to ask me to thank the Council for this clean particularly with the pressures due to COVID-19.”

He said he is working to get fields behind John Field Place cleaned up and urged people to report dumping at www.derrystrabane.com/flytipping
