THE SDLP’s Mark H Durkan has welcomed the beginning of construction work for the Strathfoyle Greenway.
Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon visited Derry earlier in the week to officially mark this long-awaited project.
Said the Foyle MLA: “I am delighted after many years of campaigning work alongside the Strathfoyle community, that my SDLP colleague and Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon has officially turned the sod on the Strathfoyle Greenway.
“This project will be completely transformative for Derry and its surrounding areas.
“I hope this will kick-start a cultural change in how people choose to incorporate active travel in their daily lives and will no doubt prove to be a vital cog in green recovery.
“All going to plan, it should be completed by September 2022.”
