Sinn Féin Councillor Deirdre Hargey has said residents' views regarding a proposed development on Stewart Street in the Markets area must be taken in account.

Plans are in place to develop tower blocks in the residential area.

In a statement, Councillor Hargey said: "The local community in the Market area have significant concerns over the proposed Stewart Street development. The sheer scale of this proposed development is unsuitable for the area and has alarmed local residents.

"It is simply not appropriate to build tower blocks at 10 and 14 storeys tall overlooking two-storey homes. I have been working with the local community on this issue and there is widespread opposition to this development.

"It is essential that the views of the local community in opposing this project are taken into account and listened to."
