Sinn Féin MLA Pádraig Delargy has said residents are concerned after human waste was discovered in a laneway in Lisfannon Park that already has a history of flooding.
The Foyle assembly member has asked the Department of Infrastructure and NI Water to identify the cause and find a solution.
Pádraig Delargy said: "Local representative Aisling Hutton and I have been dealing with an issue of the repeated flooding of a laneway in Lisfannon Park.
“This is causing problems for residents accessing the back of their homes, and specifically for leaving out bins or receiving oil deliveries having to go, as people are having to walk through this water.
"Following an inspection of the area, we are deeply concerned that human waste has been discovered there in the standing water.
“I have been in contact with the Department for Infrastructure and NI Water to try and identify what is causing this and find a quick and urgent solution to deal with what is clearly a health hazard."
