![]() When his children asked those responsible to ‘stop lighting fires’ they were verbally abused. Those involved are both male and female and range from 11-years-old to their late teens.Įvents took a more sinister turn last weekend, June 24, when death threats and threats of violence were issued against the couple by several youths after they were challenged. He along with other neighbours have been forced to chain wheelie bins to their fences to prevent youths from stealing them. Speaking to Derry News, he explained that the house is situated a matter of metres away from the tunnel meaning they can’t open windows or put clothes on their washing line because of the thick plumes of toxic smoke from burnt tyres and wheelie bins. There has been an issue with young people lighting fires in the tunnel for many years but the man said it has escalated recently to ‘several times a week’. His partner has lived at the address, which is her family home, for over forty years. The man and his partner, whose home has been affected by ongoing anti-social behaviour in the tunnel, wish to remain anonymous due to concerns about their safety and for fear of repercussions. The tunnel is situated adjacent to Collon Lane and goes under the Glengalliagh Road to a grass area that leads on to Moss Park/Bracken Park. Residents of Collon Lane in Derry have called for a tunnel to be permanently blocked following a growing number of anti-social incidents brought about by youths gathering in it.
