Derry City and Strabane District Council Facebook page image of Christmas decorations
Derry City and Strabane District Council have issued an appeal to the city regarding the damaged Christmas decorations.
Further damage was caused to the decorations last weekend according to their post on Facebook and the council have asked people to remember the decorations are there to enhance the city.
They have stressed that damaging the ornaments could potentially cause serious risk to those involved, or to someone else at a later time.
Their Facebook post said: “We would like to issue an appeal once again regarding the city centre Christmas decorations after further damage was caused last weekend.
“Please remember the decorations are there to enhance the city centre at a time when we are welcoming increased numbers of visitors and shoppers. This supports local shops and hospitality businesses at a vital time for trade, and creates a magical festive experience for children in the run up to Christmas.
“Damaging these ornaments comes at a cost to everyone - not to mention the serious risk of injury - and those who engage in this kind of anti-social behaviour will be caught and will be held responsible.
“Repairs have now been carried out and all is looking magical and ready for Christmas again - so please let’s keep it that way for everyone.”
