Potholes on two streets in the Woodburn area of the Waterside were recently repaired but only on a temporary basis because a plant that supplies material to the Department for Infrastructure was closed over Easter.

Roads minister John O’Dowd said permanent repairs at Cambourne Park and Adelaide Avenue will be carried out once ‘resources allow’.

SDLP MLA Sinéad McLaughlin asked the minister if more substantial repairs in the Woodburn area were in the pipeline.

The Infrastructure Minister replied: “The potholes on Cambourne Park and Adelaide Avenue were made safe using a temporary repair as the plant that supplies material for a permanent repair was closed for the Easter holidays.

“This work will now be followed up with permanent repairs as soon as resources allow.”

Mr. O’Dowd provided the information in response to a Written Assembly Question tabled by the MLA.

Ms. McLaughlin recently urged the minister to prioritise the Strand Road, Fanad Drive, Park Avenue, Rosemount Avenue, Fountain Hill and Iniscarn Road for resurfacing.
