Delinquent landowners rapped

The council’s latest report from the Chief Environmental Health Officer shows abatement notices were served on landowners of properties at Margaret Street, Abercorn Place, Galliagh Park and Beechwood Avenue.

Equally, landowners of properties at Branch Road, Galliagh Park, Crawford Square, Strand Road and Elmwood Terrace were rapped across the knuckles for presiding over ruinous and dilapidated buildings.

The Chief Environmental Health Officer also reported that legal proceedings were initiated against the owner of a property in Grove Place for non-compliance with a statutory notice.

Meanwhile, one Fixed Penalty Notice was served for the Offence of Smoking in a Smoke-Free Place during the three month period.
