“The cost of bulky waste collections has been removed following SDLP Councillor Declan Mcalinden proposal earlier this year.

“By removing this charge, it should be encouraging residents to use this service and help keep our streets clean.

“There is simply no justification for this!

“What is more disappointing is that the preparator lives in the community.

“I am calling on residents to watch out and report these incidents to council or to me. If culprits can be found, heavy fines are imposed!”
