The local authority issued advice to those in the area to only use ‘smokeless’ fuels
A Northern Ireland Council has issued advice on fuel use to its residents after parts of one town hit the highest levels of air pollution possible last weekend.
“Council recognises during the cost of living crisis local people are looking for alternative ways to heat homes and using solid fuel either as a primary or secondary heating source,” a statement from the council said. The Strabane, Castlederg and Newtownstewart areas have been designated as ‘Smoke Control Areas’ which mean special rules apply to the types of fuel residents are allowed to use.
