Litter wardens have been appointed to examine the Chapel Road area in L'Derry to reduce the amount of black bin bag waste.

SDLP Councillor Martin Reilly contacted the council following concerns from residents.

Mr Reilly said: "The dumping of domestic rubbish in black bags at the bottom of Primrose Street, and other parts of Chapel Road, causes obvious concerns.

"I have contacted the waste management team in Derry City Council and welcome its commitment to organise with the Enforcement Officer to take the litter wardens across to the area next week on bin collection day and again go through any bags that are left out to identify the source. Following this the wardens are to call at each property and speak to the residents and advise on proper procedures for dealing with waste."
