Sinn Fein councillor Sandra Duffy
Councillor Sandra Duffy said: “I welcome the confirmation from the Roads Service that they intend to begin road resurfacing work in Cornshell Fields after the Christmas holidays.
“I have been campaigning for the resurfacing of Cornshell Fields for over three years.
“The road in the development is one of the worst examples of a bad road surface in Derry, with taxi drivers stating they are reluctant to lift people as they are constantly having their cars damaged.
“Local residents are severely out of pocket with repairs to their vehicles and have actually got to the point that some are no longer claiming off the Department for Infrastructure (DFI) as it is happening all too often.
“I completely understand the pressures on the Department for Infrastructure regarding their budgets and requests for road assessments and upgrades.
“But the people of Cornshell Fields have been more than patient in waiting for this work to be carried out.
“So it’s great to finally see this work is going to happen.”
