'Illegal dumping is a blight on our community'

Councillor, Emma McGinley, has hit out at those who are dumping household items in community spaces

Sinn Féin Councillor, Emma McGinley, has hit out at those who are dumping household items in community spaces.

Speaking on the issue, Councillor McGinley said: "Over the past number of weeks there have been several occasions where I've had to report the illegal dumping of bulky household items to get them removed by the council. 

"There have been fridges and mattresses dumped in different parts of the area. It is just unsafe and unacceptable.
