The SDLP’s Mark H Durkan has welcomed steps to address the lack of street lighting provision at Corrib Court in the Ballymagroarty area of the city.
Said the Foyle MLA: “After representations from my office, I’m delighted that the DfI Street Lighting team will install additional lighting in this residential area.
“I’d been approached by several residents who had fallen on the steps during the darker evenings due to restricted visibility and absence of street lights.
“This was a clear health and safety risk which was exacerbated by the fact that the only other access to the homes along this stretch is at the farthest end of the street.
“The new additional lights covering this set of steps, I hope will alleviate concerns as well as improving overall safety.
“This will be completed within the next few months and I thank DfI for their prompt action on this issue.
“In the meantime, I would encourage anyone who notices a faulty or broken street lamp to contact my office or to report via the department’s online portal.”
