Portglenone community angry after picnic table destroyed at marina

There is anger within the Portglenone community after a picnic table was destroyed on Friday night, in what has been described as the latest incident in a growing problem of antisocial behaviour in the area.

Local councillor, Alderman Stewart McDonald commented:

“The burning out of a picnic table in Portglenone last night is just the latest, example of increased anti-social behaviour in the area.

“The anti social behaviour which has increased of late is not welcome here and those involved represent a tiny minority in a village renowned for its community spirit.

“I would appeal for anyone with information about last night’s incident to come forward to the police and have a simple message from the community for all of those involved in this behaviour - this carry on will never be tolerated.

“The decent people of Portglenone will work with the police to ensure it is stamped out.”
