Sinn Fein Councillor Mickey Cooper
Councillor Cooper said “I have been speaking to the general manager of Home Bargains in relation to the boy racers gathering in their car park on the Strand Road and the resulting noise pollution issues.
“He has advised me that they now have in operation 24 hour camera coverage of the car park from a central security office.
“I have suggested that the office works in conjunction with elected representatives and local residents so that if the cars are seen gathering we can let them know in real time, so that either the wardens or police (depending on the number of cars that are gathering) can respond quickly and move them on.
“Hopefully this will give us a short-term solution and if it persists Home Bargains has committed to looking at a new barrier on site.”
