Lone Moor Road and Braehead Road in Derry top the list for traffic calming measures, a local councillor has said.

Lone Moor Road is number one on the list whlle Braehead Road is at number three.

The news has been welcomed by Sinn Fein Councillor Patricia Logue.

She said “I welcome the news that the section of Lone Moor Road in the vicinity of the Showgrounds area and the Braehead Road at Nixons Corner have been deemed suitable for traffic calming measures.

“Lone Moor Road was assessed for traffic calming during 2016 and as a result is now currently placed at number one in Transport NI priority list.

“They intend to take forward this scheme during the 2017/18 financial year notwithstanding any objections to the scheme.

“The Braehead Road has been placed at number three and will proceed in 2018/19 if no other scheme scores higher that it in the intervening period.”

Cllr Logue concluded: “I have been lobbying for traffic calming measures on both roads for some time now following concerns being raised with me by local residents about road safety.Hopefully these schemes will now be able to proceed as planned.”
