Derry City and Strabane District Council’s refuse collection services continue to be affected as result of the snow and icy conditions today.
However, householders are advised to leave out their bins as normal and Council will endeavour to service them when it is safe to do so.
The council say: “A number of our Cemeteries will be closed for a period to allow for staff to facilitate funerals and to clear pathways for the public.
“It is hoped they will reopen as soon as its safe to do so. The public are asked to use facilities with extreme caution.
“All of our Leisure centres and community centres are open.
“The majority of Council recycling centres will be open, there were some delays this morning in getting many of the rural facilities open because of the weather conditions.
“Please be patient and when using our centres please be careful and co-operate fully with staff.
“Outdoor pitches are being inspected on a regular basis to see if they are suitable to open and users notified accordingly.
“Council parks, greenways and play areas will be open but it is important to note that some of the pathways may be slippy and caution must be taken by users.
“Some of the Council play parks which are locked overnight may not be open until later today as a result of the weather conditions.
“We are urging the public to be patient and to take care when using these facilities.
“The Council’s Health and Community Committee meeting scheduled for this afternoon in the Guildhall has been rescheduled until next week.
“Updates on any services affected will be provided on the Council’s social media platforms.”
