STEWART: COUNCIL NEED TO ACT ON VANDALISM!

Sh. SDLP Councillor Liam Stewart has hit out at thugs following another spate of vandalism to Castle place at Strabane town centre last night. (Monday)

"As a forum member, as an SDLP Representative, the clean up of our town centre has been at the top of the agenda for many months. The town forum, town traders and business owners will not tolerate any vandalism to our town and will continue to promote the many good things our town has to offer both residents and tourists alike"

To damage our town centre at this difficult economic time is quite simply reckless and selfish.

"I have discussed this matter with various business owners this afternoon and many shared in my disgust of this unjustifiable act of destruction. One shop owner explained how they have been subjected to ongoing torture by large groups of young people almost every night of he week. The police have been monitoring the area but little damage or problems are. Avoided. The tree which was only planted a number of weeks ago had been broken off at the stump and used to beat shutters along the town centre premises an then left outside a local chemist? It's time these vandals took pride in their town instead of trying to destroy the progress being made."

"Have these vandals no respect for their town, for their identity? If these inconsiderate individuals cannot leave the small insignificant things alone, such as tree planting, seating or shrubbery, then how can we deliver the bigger picture for our town and people."
