Sinn Féin Councillor Mickey Cooper has called for additional police resources to be directed to Creggan Country Burn.
It follows another weekend of anti-community activity and burning of wooden pallets in the parklands there.
Councillor Cooper said “I have been contacted by a number of angry residents who are at their wits ends following several incidents in the parkland there over the last few days.
"They have complained to me that there is simply not enough police resource’s being directed into the area whilst groups of young people area gathering and setting fire to pallets there, destroying the green space and causing a general nuisance.
"I fully understand that the Police may be under pressure with resources but it’s vital that they are about whilst incidents like this are taking place to nip it in the bud from the outset.
He went on to say: "I am also putting a call out to businesses, especially those in the local industrial estates to increase security or store pallets more securely. Groups of young people are regularly seen in the area on the lookout for pallets.
"It also important that housing associations warn their contractors to carry out similar security checks on local building sites.
