Sinn Fein Derry Group Leader Councillor Sandra Duffy
Said Cllr Duffy: “This £85m investment at Ballyoan will sustain up to 150 local construction jobs for the next ten years.
“The much-needed homes in the Waterside will come in a variety of sizes, types and styles along with community facilities including a crèche and gym.
“It will also provide play facilities in an area where there is a major deficit in terms of parks and open spaces.”
Commenting in relation to the Ebrington plans, the councillor said: “This is another step towards the realisation of the potential of Ebrington Square.
“The design fits in well with the wider development.
“Its bringing much needed homes within the city centre area, as well as supporting businesses in Ebrington and Clooney Terrace and down as far as Spencer Road.”
