Waterside cannot become “No-go area” due to sectarian attacks -Jackson

SINN Féin Councillor Christopher Jackson has condemned a sectarian attack on a teenager in the Waterside area of Derry on Saturday night.

The 15-year-old was attacked in the vicinity of Rossdowney Road .

Police have described the sectarian assault as “vicious” and have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

Councillor Jackson said: ““This must have been a very frightening experience for the young boy who was attacked and i hope he makes a speedy recovery.

“There can be no place for sectarianism in our City.

“Those responsible need to realise the possible consequences of their actions.

“At a time when communities in the Waterside are striving to cement peace and encourage reconciliation it would appear that there is a very small minority intent on living in the past.

“I have been warning over recent times about an increase in such attacks.

“And we cannot allow a situation that during the hours of darkness parts of the Waterside become no-go areas.

“I am calling on the PSNI to put in whatever resources are needed to counteract and apprehend those responsible for carrying out these attacks,” he added.
