Additional Consultation Scheduled On Derry-Buncrana Greenway

Construction News Image
An additional consultation event has been scheduled on the new Derry to Buncrana greenway.

The project team is inviting local people to voice their opinion on the number of possible alternative routes that have been suggested for the section linking Inch Island to Fahan.

The event will take place in Tooban on Thursday 07 February.

This follows previous successful events which helped shape the current plan, with over 200 people attending.

Ronan Gallagher, Communications Manager said: "Following the feedback received, the project team feels it is important to explore fully all possible alternatives. As the alternative options were not originally presented it is now important that we go back to let the wider public have their input on them as well as speaking with people who may have land along one of the new routes."

He continued: "One of our key objectives is to build infrastructure that will encourage people to cycle and walk between Derry and Buncrana, whether it be a local or cross-border journey. The important aspect of the project is to deliver something which is safe, thus encouraging more people to leave the car at home. Whilst there is significant support for the greenway project, we would like to acknowledge some of the genuine concerns raised by landowners in the area, and we will strive to ensure that no matter the preferred route selected, impact on those living in proximity to the developed infrastructure will be minimised."
