Lifesaving equipment beside a County Derry river has been vandalised again.
Mid Ulster District Council is urging those responsible for vandalism of essential lifesaving equipment at its water sites to have respect for the need for such equipment and to stop tampering with throwlines and other items, after vandals targeted the Moyola River Walk in Castledawson for what is the third time in the past twelve months.
Despite the council undertaking weekly inspections of sites, lifesaving equipment, including housing, caps and posts continue to be removed or tampered with, and litter, including dog mess, has been left in some of the vandalised casings.
