Mr Durkan said: “Those responsible are out to cause damage and their contemptible actions only show they have an utter disregard for the many people who live nearby.

“Indeed, it is a disgrace that elderly people – particularly in Alexander House – are being put through such distress and disruption.

“No-one, especially elderly citizens, should be subjected to such anxiety and strain.”
