SINN Féin Councillor Sandra Duffy has called on Derry City and Strabane District Council to provide additional Christmas street lights on the Lower Strand Road area of Derry City centre.
Said Cllr Duffy: “I have called on the Council to find the funding to provide Christmas lighting for the Lower Strand Road.
“This is an integral part of our city centre but with lighting ending in around Waterloo place,it would seem that the Christmas spirit didn’t extend that far.
“This area has been through a full regeneration in the past few years.
“It has great shops, bars, restaurants and hotels with an ever-increasing footfall.
“We need to harness that, build on it and we should be supporting these businesses by ensuring that they are fully incorporated into the Derry City Centre Christmas lighting plans.”
