A call has been made for the vandalised Bogside tourist information and interpretive signs to be replaced.

It came from Aisling Hutton, the Moor Sinn Féin candidate in upcoming local elections.

Ms Hutton said: "Several years ago, a number of information and interpretive signs were erected in and around the Rossville Street and Free Derry area charting the history of the area and identifying key places of historical interest.

“Some of these signs have seen better days due to the weather but sadly others have been targeted by vandals.

“Graffiti has been written all over them, some of the glass has been smashed on them and, shockingly, others have been set on fire.

“It’s important we try and get these signs replaced and updated as soon as possible. More and more visitors from across the world are coming to the city to learn about our history.

“I am calling on the Council to see what options are available particularly as we head towards the very busy summer period with thousands of tourists set to visit the city.”
