Causeway Coast and Glens councillor urges caution after discarded syringes found in play park

Sinn Féin councillor Brenda Chivers said the discarded syringes were found outside O’Connor’s Bar and in the play park at Drumsurn.

“It is extremely concerning that these syringes were found, as it puts our young people and others in the community at risk,” she said.

“It is completely unacceptable for these syringes to be discarded in a public area, and puts our children and wider community in danger.

“I would also urge parents to speak to their children and remind them never to touch or pick up any syringes or needles they may find.

“If you come across a discarded syringe, please report it for safe removal.

“I would call on the community to exercise caution and work together to keep our children and community safe,” she concluded.
