Those responsible for the burning of bins at four homes at Sandbank Cottages in the Ballyarnett area of Derry over the weekend have been condemned by Sinn Fein local government election candidate Sandra Duffy.
Ms Duffy said the incident had been “very upsetting” for many residents in the area.
She added: “The burning of the bins left an awful mess for residents and council staff to clean up.
“The one thing that I am sure of is that those behind this incidents didn’t burn their own wheelie bins but have subjected others to a financial burden of having to replace their household bin.
“People can ill afford to be spending money on continually replacing their bins.”
Ms Duffy concluded: “I would like to thank Derry City Council for their quick response in helping the residents out.”
