Proposed traffic calming measures at Springvale Park in the Foyle Springs area of Derry, have been welcome by a local councillor.
Sinn Fein’s Eric McGinley said residents had expressed “long standing” concerns at the volume and speed of traffic using the estate as a “short cut” between Springtown Road and Northland Road.
He added: “In response to requests from Sinn Féin traffic assessments had been carried out by Transport NI which confirmed the need for traffic calming measures.
“I welcome confirmation that design work is now taking place to determine the precise nature of the measures to be introduced and I would acknowledge Transport NI’s response to an issue which has been a source of great concern for residents for a considerable period of time.”
He concluded: “Transport NI will publish the traffic calming proposals in the near future and the scheme will proceed from that point if there are no objections raised.”
