A key fit-out scheme is set to get underway in L'Derry city centre to help boost tourist facilities in the area.

Existing commercial, ground floor units will be fitted out in Waterloo Place to facilitate the relocation of the Visit Derry offices.

Derry City and Strabane District Council's Planning Committee approved the project last week, which will see an entrance canopy, visitor information centre, toilets and staff facilities developed at 1-3 Waterloo Place.

The proposals also include two projecting signs, two wall-mounted signs and an LED media screen on the ground floor.

Welcoming the decision, the Head of Planning Maura Fox with Derry City and Strabane District Council said it would allow for the expansion of tourist facilities in the city centre and provide an enhanced visitor experience.
