Cleanup at

Ogle St.

not effective

Armagh Sinn Féin Councillor Cathy Rafferty has said that although she had requested that a clean up be done at the vacant site on

Ogle St.

the site is still a mess.

Cllr Raffety said,

"I requested that the site behind Eurospar was cleaned up as it was full of litter, broken bottles and abandoned shopping trolleys and was also attracting rats. Although a small cleanup was carried out, it now seems that the rubbish was merely buried, effectively making it a landfill site."

"This is simply not good enough and I will lobby the Council to have this site cleaned up properly as soon as possible."
