Cllr Tony Hassan welcomes news that Spine Road at Skeoge is now open
SINN Féin Housing spokesperson Tony Hassan has welcomed the completion of the new road system at the Skeogelands that will allow more development of social homes in the area.
In a new year statement, Cllr Hassan said. “The new road is called the Spine Road and will stretch through the present Apex development to the second roundabout at Skeoge.
“It will also access onto Lower Galliagh Road to allow residents in the Woodbrook areas to access the Skeoge Road.
“The completion of the Spine will now allow the building of over 650 social homes this year ,much needed homes for the 3,500 families who are homeless and in housing stress in the city.
“This development will see a lot of open space, play parks, some community facilities, a school and retail outlets.
“The number of people waiting for a home in the city has increased dramatically over the past few years and these new homes will go some way to alleviating that problem.
“In 2018 Sinn Féin will continue to lobby at every opportunity to ensure that the need for new social housing schemes is kept firmly on the agenda in the Council area,” added Cllr Hassan.
