Pothole protest on Northland Road

'Those in charge of infrastructure in the Executive must shoulder the blame' - Cllr Shaun Harkin

"We have poor public transport and shocking roads. A lot more needs to be done by DfI. It cant't pass the buck anymore."

Attending the protest, Glen resident, Davy McAuley said many people had contacted him because their cars have been damaged by the potholes on this road.

He added: "This road is part of the major problem across Derry. There are roads all through the city that are absolutely destroyed.

"They were destroyed by Firmus gas digging them up. They haven't been fixed properly. People are destroying their cars when they are driving over the top of them.

DfI has to come out and fix them. They can't just keep putting things on the back burner because it is getting worse. The longer they leave this mess, the worse it gets. They have to get out here and get these roads fixed.
