Collections for remembrance garden are bogus


Sinn Féin councillor Margaret McClenaghan, who sits on the Ardoyne, Bone, Ligoniel Memorial Committee has warned Ardoyne residents to be on their guard after bogus callers in the area claimed to be collecting money for a remembrance garden.
"We will be advising communities of progress of our fundraising and no one connected to our memorial garden has organised any form of street collection,” said the Sinn Féin Councillor.
“We can assure residents that plenty of notice will be given before any fundraising takes place. People need to be aware of bogus house callers where anyone would use a memorial garden to our dead to collect money for self gain.
"On top if that there is a feeling of fear in the area as it is, without people calling to doors late at night. People should stay vigilant."
