A large section of the wall, which fringes a shopping complex and car park between Thornhill Park and Ballynagard, had tumbled onto the walking and cycling path along the Culmore Road earlier this week.

At the time local people were urged to be cautious with SDLP Councillor for the Culmore area Angela Dobbins calling for its ‘speedy repair’.
