SINN Féin Councillor Mickey Cooper has welcomed the announcement made by Derry City and Strabane District Council that funding is being proposed to complete a wheelchair adaptable swing at Brooke Park.He said: “I am pleased that the council has agreed to propose additional support for disabled facilities in the new Brooke Park.
“This will allow the development to be completed.
“Unfortunately when the original consultations on Brooke Park took place the issue of a wheelchair adaptable swing was not identified which meant it was not included in the designs or budget for the park.
“I would like to congratulate everyone involved in helping make this now happen and addressing this issue.
“It will obviously be a massive boost to the families of people with disabilities who can now avail of the facilities that council support will provide,” added Cllr Cooper.
