Condemnation of ongoing illegal dumping in forest near Clady

Flytipping in Clady

Fly-tippers are continuously targeted a secluding rural area of Clady to dump large bulky items – much to the annoynace of local representatives.

Sinn Féin Councillor Bróna Haughey is one of those who has hit out at ongoing incidents of illegal dumping at Dead Man’s Hill in Clady, describing the behaviour as a “complete disregard” for the local community and environment.

The latest incident saw a large oven unscrupulously dumped at the roadside.

“This is a valued part of our local landscape, not a dumping ground,” she said. “Those who illegally discard waste here are showing complete disregard for our community and environment.”

She confirmed the issue has been reported to the relevant authorities and pledged to continue working alongside police to clamp down on the problem.

“Our environment belongs to all of us. I urge anyone with information to come forward and help put an end to this activity,” she added.

“Sinn Féin remains committed to working with all to protect our local areas for the benefit of current and future generations.”
