SDLP councillor Brian Tierney has said a security alert in the Fahan Street area of Derry is disrupting the lives of local residents.
Cllr Tierney is in the area engaging with residents and local police.
Police said a number of items were found in Fahan Street this morning.
Said Cllor Tierney: “This security alert is causing significant disruption in our city this afternoon and the last thing local residents should have to deal with is being forced from their homes on a Monday morning.
“Fahan Street has been closed causing difficulties to people who regularly travel through this area.
“I am on the ground engaging with local residents and community representatives to ensure they are supported until this security alert ends.
“I’m also liaising with police to try and establish a timeline for residents to return to their homes.
“We are sick of incidents like this interrupting the lives of our community and I’d ask anyone with information to come forward to police as soon as possible.”
