Derry's Bogside to undergo bulky lift/clean up

Derry’s Bogside is to undergo a bulky lift/clean up tomorrow.

The initiative, to be carried out by Derry City Council and the Triax neighbourhood management team, will take place from 10.00am.

The clean up will take place  from William Street to Dove Gardens, Stanley’s Walks and all streets in between.

The initiative has been welcomed by Sinn Fein Cllr Colly Kelly who appealed to people to “take pride” in their area and refrain from any type of fly tipping.

He added: “If anyone has an item of furniture or bulky items that needs collected for disposal they should ring the City Council cleansing department to make arrangements for that to happen.”

Cllr Kelly concluded: "These bulky lifts and clean ups give the local residents pride in their area and a sense of ownership and responsibility through community participation.”
