A new shelter built to protect people from the elements while they enter the Spar shop and filling station on the Millvale Road, Bessbrook is being attacked on a nightly basis and local Slieve Gullion Councillor Declan Murphy has said the attacks have greatly angered many within the local Millvale and Cloughreagh communities, and has appealed for such vandalism to cease.
Perspex panels in the structure have been smashed extensively.
Cllr Murphy said “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”.
The local Councillor continued, “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”.
