Derry City and Strabane District Council have dismissed claims football pitches in the city will be closed and turned into a new recycling centre.
It comes after Sinn Fein councillor Christopher Jackson said he was inundated with messages from local residents over claims that the Lisnagelvin football pitches in the Waterside area could be turned into a dump.
Speaking at an Environment and Regeneration Committee meeting last week, Cllr Jackson gained the support of other councillors from across the chamber in relation to the matter.
