Cllr Declan Murphy has said that the attacks on the Covid Shelter at the Spar Services at Millvale must stop.
He said it has greatly angered many people within the local Millvale and Cloughreagh communities, and he has appealed for such vandalism to cease.
The Sinn Féin Councillor added: “This local service is vital to many. Throughout the recent pandemic crisis the management and staff of SPAR Millvale worked diligently and tirelessly to ensure that people got their essential needs”.
“These very deliberate acts of criminal vandalism are wrong and many within the communities that the Shop serves are angry.
“We are united in saying very clearly, this is wrong and must stop”.
A SPAR Millvale Services spokesperson said: “Our Covid shelter is being attacked on a nightly basis now and this has been ongoing for almost a week now.
“If anyone knows who is doing this, please contact the police.
“We are now having to install another CCTV camera to cover this spot so hopefully that will identify whoever is causing this mayhem.
‘This cannot continue. It is destroyed and it is heart-breaking.
“We thank the community for their support and we really appreciate the community getting behind us over these past few difficult months.”
