Amenity Sites Set To Reopen

Tuesday, 28 July 2009

Members of Derry City Council today agreed to reopen the Civic Amenity sites at Brandywell and Eglinton following a Special Council meeting to discuss the matter. The sites, which were closed in early May as part of the Council’s savings programme within the Rates Estimates for 2009/10, will re-open with reduced hours in early Autumn.

A spokesperson for Derry City Council explained that savings had been found through anticipated reductions in waste tonnage and waste treatment costs against projections for the financial period 2009/10. The revised opening times for the civic amenity sites are as follows:

There is no change to the operating arrangements for Claudy and Park civic amenity sites. These sites will continue to operate within the reduced hours arrangements for 2009/10. Pennyburn and Glendermott Road civic amenity sites will also continue to operate within the extended opening arrangements for 2009/10.
