SINN Féin Councillor Christopher Jackson has described the news that Frankie & Benny’s is to close its Waterside outlet as a “blow to the local hospitality sector”.
He said: “News that Frankie & Benny’s is to close its outlet on Crescent Link is a blow to the local hospitality sector.
“Those employed by the restaurants in Derry and elsewhere will rightly be concerned about the closure.
“The loss of these jobs would be a blow to the Waterside area and the local economy.
“Management should ensure that staff are kept informed of developments and opportunities for relocation or redeployment should be offered if possible.”
