Sandyford In Brief... Residents of DLR asked to ignore ‘we buy second-hand cars’ signs
Residents are becoming increasingly annoyed at the sight of ‘we buy second-hand cars’ posters and the campaign intensifies over bank holiday weekends. Cllr. Lettie McCarthy, (Lab) said she received six complaints from different areas over the October bank holiday weekend. "These posters are illegal and unsightly within estates and causes upset to residents. They are also placed along motorway off ramps which is very distracting and dangerous for drivers," she said. She advised that nobody would should this number or entertain this type of behaviour out of fairness to decent honest hard-working people who make their living by buying and selling second-hand cars. "Car dealers, who are paying rent and rates, employing staff and generally keeping their business going through difficult times do not need this added grief that these illegal traders are heaping on top of them. I sincerely hope people would pause for thought before they call this number and consider the people that they may be putting out of work," she concluded.
