There are plans to introduce a one-way traffic system on one of the busiest streets in Derry's city centre.

The proposal to make Ferryquay Street one-way is a part of a plan to breathe new life into the city centre in the wake of the ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Details of the Recovery & Revitalisation Programme, which is funded by the Department for Communities, were outlined in a report discussed at a meeting yesterday of Derry City and Strabane District Council's Environment and Regeneration Committee.

Councillors agreed to take the plans forward in conjunction with all the relevant stakeholders.
