Truck bonnet is among rubbish that is dumped at Foreglen Road

SINN Féin councillor Tony McCaul has appealed for people to stop dumping rubbish and litter on the stretch of road between Foreglen and Dungiven.

Mr McCaul made the request after receiving a number of requests from local resident.

Councillor McCaul said "Over this past week I've had complaints from locals about the state of the main road between Foreglen and Dungiven. When I checked about five miles of the road I found litter scattered on the hard shoulder and along some ditches bordering the hard shoulder, someone had even dumped a bonnet of a truck.

“I've contact the council and they immediately removed the truck bonnet. A litter pick is also being organised by the council to clean up this stretch of road,” he said.

Councillor McCaul continued: "I would appeal to everyone, especially drivers and vehicle passengers to take their litter home with them or dump it at an appropriate place.”
