Improvement work has been completed on the Bonds Hill public realm project in L'Derry.

The Department for Communities provided funding of £255,000 for the works which provide a key link to the new Multi Modal Hub, Ebrington Greenway and a commercial area of the Waterside.

The investment has transformed ageing footways, carriageway and lighting as well as the addition of a new cycle lane and pedestrian crossing points along Bonds Hill to provide a safe quality travel link.

The works which commenced in January were designed and delivered by the Department for Infrastructure.

Communities Minister Carál Ní Chuilín said: "This investment is about giving people who live and work in the area an increased sense of civic pride. The physical improvements not only improve the image of the area, but also connect communities and improve accessibility.

"In these challenging times when people's mental and physical health is vitally important, I am delighted to see projects that continually focus on improving disability access and community connectivity as well as promoting active travel. I welcome this long overdue revamp of the area, which is now a safer and more attractive area for the whole community to enjoy."
