SDLP Foyle MLA has welcomed steps to address the lack of street lighting provision at Corrib Court in the Ballymagroarty area of the city.

"This was a clear health and safety risk which was exacerbated by the fact that the only other access to the homes along this stretch is at the farthest end of the street.”

Mr Durkan added he hopes the additional lights would also improve overall safety:

“This will be completed within the next few months and I thank DfI for their prompt action.

"I would encourage anyone who notices a faulty street lamp to contact my office.”
