Cllr Tony Hassan.
Sinn Féin Councillor Tony Hassan has condemned the wanton vandalism that took place at traffic lights at Madam’s Bank Road in Derry.
It is the second time in six weeks the traffic lights have been set on fire.
Cllr Hassan said: “These lights have been repeatedly attacked since they were introduced in 2012.
“They provide safety for pedestrians, particularly children going to school.
“This is also a major road which services several housing developments and carries a high volume of cross border traffic.”
Cllr Hassan appealed to those responsible to stop “this nonsense.”
He added: “Attacking any sort of road safety measure is placing the lives of motorists and pedestrians in danger.”
Cllr Hassan concluded: “It is local people who are suffering and their lives being disrupted by these senseless incidents and that is something no one wants.”
