£1m funding boost for Ballymagroarty/ Hazelbank area of Derry welcomed

Councillor Heaney said: "I am delighted that after years of lobbying and planning, the Ballymagroarty Hazelbank Community Partnership has been allocated almost £1 million of funding to allow the construction of a new playpark at Ringfort Road.

"The current ageing facility will be replaced with a brand new state of the art park which will cater for the wider Hazelbank and Ballymagroarty community.

"Additional funding has also been allocated to allow the proposed new community centre for the same location to progress to the next design stage.

“I am absolutely delighted that we have reached this stage of the process and will continue to liaise with the local community as the projects progress."
