Cllr Kelly
SINN Féin Councillor Colly Kelly has appealed that salt and grit boxes are not tampered with during the first big freeze of the winter.
His appeal follows a number of complaints from residents that in some areas of the city the boxes have been kicked over or moved.
Councillor Kelly said: “I would appeal to all communities to ensure that their local salt /grit boxes are not vandalised.
“It may be hijinks by groups going home late at night or someone thinking it’s a funny to kick the contents of the grit box out or move it down a street. But clearly it isn’t.
“It takes a lot of lobbying with DRD Roads Service to get these boxes put in place.
“They serve a very practical but important essential service and are there for the specific reason of safety of residents, motorists and pedestrians.”
