SDLP Foyleside representative Stephen McCallion has called for improvement works to be carried out on a car park in the Pennyburn area of the city.
Mr McCallion said the carpark, facing St Patrick’s Church, had fallen into a bad state.
He has contacted the Department for Infrastructure requesting improvements works be carried out at the site as soon as possible.
Said Mr McCallion: “After visiting the Pennyburn area and talking to local residents about their concerns I was shocked to learn about the state of the car park facing St Patrick’s Chapel.
“This is a car park that is used by many people in this area, particularly mass goers, and it is badly in need of improvements.
“The whole site really needs a cleanup, with a pothole in the car park allowing a large body of water to pool up, making it difficult for people to use the area.
“It is particularly unsuitable for the elderly or those with disabilities who may struggle to use it in its current state.
“I have contacted the Department for Infrastructure to highlight my concerns and hope to receive a positive response in the near future.
“Given the need for parking spaces in this area it’s important that we look after the spaces we do have, particularly for use by the local community.”
