Lights out at new Derry housing development

Derry Sinn Fein Councillor Kevin Campbell is to meet with the developers of a new housing scheme in the city after the estate was left without street lights last night.

Cllr Campbell said he spoke to Transport NI (Roads Service) last night and was informed the site at the former St Peter’s School on the outskirts of Creggan had not been adopted by them.

Cllr Campbell added “So the contractor has responsibility to fix them I will talk to Apex and have the contractor sort it out.”

He concluded: “In the mean time, can the residents living there be careful as parts of the development is still a building site and it can be very dangerous in the dark.”
