Plans to light up Council’s Foyle Valley Railway public car park welcomed
A total of £30,000 funding from the Car Parks Repairs and Renewals budget has been identified for the project.
The matter was discussed at this week’s meeting of the Council’s Business & Culture Committee.

Hide AdCouncillor Logue said: “This is a very a busy car park due to its proximity to the city centre and the riverfront walkway. It provides 65 car-parking spaces and two disabled parking bays. Currently this is the only Council operated off-street car park which does not have a lighting scheme.
“We need to ensure that that our off-street car parks are safe to use and are maintained in a safe condition.
“I also believe that a new lighting system would enhance and compliment the recent work and new build at the Foyle Valley Railway centre.”
The Committee was told that the local authority has a duty of care to the public to ensure that car parks are safe.
