Buncrana Road.
SINN Féin’s Caoimhe McKnight will bring a Motion today, Thursday, April 26, calling on Council to engage at the highest level with the Department of Infrastructure to ensure the development of Buncrana Road is prioritised as a North West Regional Economic driver.
Councillor McKnight said: “Sinn Féin has lobbied consistently for the upgrade of the A2 Buncrana Road and I am now calling on Council to make this project a priority as a cross border lynch-pin in its drive for a ‘Growth Deal’ for the North West.
“Welcome progress on the A6 and A5 is ongoing and the inclusion of the A2 would open up many opportunities for economic regional growth.
“The Buncrana Road is a major arterial route linking Derry to major population and business points the length of the West Coast.
“It is an essential element in the economic development of the North West given its proximity to Lisahally Port, the Science Park at Fort George and recently proposed commercial developments.
“But for this to happen we need to engage at the highest level with the Department of Infrastructure to impress on it the importance of this project to the overall successful development of the Council’s ‘Growth Deal’ proposals.
“I will bring this proposal to Council today seeking cross party support ”
