Derry and Strabane District Council has been called on to clear several fallen trees on a section of the Line pathway.
Sinn Féin Moor councillor Aisling Hutton made the call after a cyclist suffered injuries after having to avoid a number of fallen trees blocking the popular pathway.
Cllr Hutton said: “I first reported that a number of trees were down on this pathway in the days after storm Éowyn and I fully understand the council has been under pressure since in trying to clean up  the aftermath at several  parks and walkways.
“But I am very concerned about the injuries caused to this cyclist after an incident on the Line pathway. He tried to avoid the fallen  trees and the bike skidded resulting in him getting injured and his bike damaged.
“I have contacted the Council and asked them to  urgently clean up this section of the busy  pathway between Derry and Donegal.
“I also hope the cyclist can make a quick recovery from his injuries and alert other users to be careful until the area has been cleared up."
