A local politician has welcomed plans for new cycle routes and paths linking parts of Donegal to Derry.
Sinn Féin Foyle MLA Raymond McCartney has welcomed the news that a new multi pound Greenways project is to take place on two of the main arterial routes between Derry and Donegal.
Mr McCartney said: “It’s welcome news that this multi million pound investment will see a greenways project on two key routes from our city into Donegal.
“The greenways will link Derry with Buncrana and the village of Muff.
“Greenways have the potential to strengthen activity tourism, as well as being an invaluable health and wellbeing resource for local communities.
“It will protect and enhance the countryside and open spaces around it to a whole new generation.
“I look forward to seeing work begin on these projects as soon as possible.”
