Condemnation after damage to Strangford pitch

30 October 2019

THE discovery of track marks at playing fields in Strangford has been condemned by local SDLP Assembly member Colin McGrath.

Mr McGrath said he was contacted by local people who were upset at the damage.

“These marks have been made and are quite deep,” he said. They will take time and care to have them repaired.

“Such damage is uncalled for and only ruins the enjoyment and use that other people can have of our public spaces.”

Mr McGrath said the matter had been reported to Newry, Mourne and Down Council, who will carry out the necessary repair work.

He added: “I would urge whoever did this not to do it again and ask local residents to be vigilant and report any further incidents they might observe.”
