Clooney Greenway Transforms Derelict L'Derry Land

The Clooney Greenway project which will transform derelict land in Londonderry is on track to be completed in the coming weeks.

This £410,000 project will create a 1km, tarmaced corridor for walking and cycling, with lighting throughout, establishing a sustainable travel corridor in the heart of the Waterside. It will also enhance connections between communities and provide a convenient safe route to and from local schools.


Following a visit to the site, Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Cllr Michaela Boyle welcomed the progress.

She said: "This is a significant project that will not only improve accessibility in the Waterside area of the city but will greatly enhance sustainable travel options for cycling and walking connectivity in the Waterside. This project is in keeping with the objectives set out in the Strategic Growth Plan and builds on the success of the Waterside Greenway network."

The project is expected to be completed by the end of the summer, ahead of the new school term.

It is funded by the Department for Communities and Derry City and Strabane District Council.
