‘No dumping’ signs to deter fly-tippers from illegally dumping rubbish at site where people were shot on Bloody Sunday
The erection of ‘no dumping’ signs in Glenfada Park in the Bogside will hopefully deter fly-tippers from illegally dumping rubbish at the site where people were shot and injured on Bloody Sunday, a local councillor has said.
Sinn Féin Councillor Aisling Hutton welcomed the erection of new signs in the Glenfada Park area of the Bogside aimed at tackling a recent spate of illegal dumping.
Councillor Hutton said: "Sadly on a regular basis over the past few months, dozens of bags of rubbish have been dumped at the side of the Museum of Free Derry at the spot where people were shot and injured on Bloody Sunday.
"This is particularly insensitive given that the rubbish has been dumped close to the glass case where the bullet holes from Bloody Sunday are still visible on the wall.”
She called on those responsible to ‘stop and think of the important history of the area and the local residents’ and thanked the Council for erecting of the signs.
