THE SDLP’s Mark H Durkan has welcomed the announcement of a long-awaited play provision for Eglinton.
Said the Foyle MLA: “This is great news for the Eglinton community. I am delighted that funding has finally been secured for the upgrade of Eglinton Play Park.
“The children of Eglinton will have the state-of-the-art and safe facility that we have campaigned for for a long time.
“The park will include a wheelchair accessible multi-unit, sensory panels and a selection of facilities for children of all ages.
