Derry City and Strabane District councillor Aisling Hutton (Sinn Féin) has called on the Department for Infrastructure (DFI ) to carry out  urgent repairs of the minor roundabouts at the junctions of Elmwood Terrace /Westland Street and Laburnum Terrace.
Councillor Hutton said: "I am calling on the Department for Infrastructure  to immediately upgrade the road markings at the mini roundabouts at the junction of Elmwood Terrace /Westland Street and Laburnum Terrace.
Appeal for new road markings at busy Bogside junction.
“I have been contacted by local residents and motorists concerned that the markings on the roadway are badly worn away and many drivers simply don’t see the roundabouts and are driving straight through the junctions.
“This is a very dangerous junction coupled with the fact that some drivers are merging onto these roundabouts in excess of the speed limit.
“I would also appeal for motorists to take due care and attention whilst travelling through the area."
