Said the Foyle MLA: “I welcome confirmation from Finance Minister Conor Murphy that his department will be flexible in the allocation of funding for individual City Deal projects.
“This is welcome news for Derry and Strabane and other City Deal partners as it means projects will be able to go ahead without delay.
“I expect that the process to develop Heads of Terms for the Derry City Deal will be completed.
