Members of the public have been urged to have their say on the Glendermott Shared Space Project in County L'Derry.

Public meetings will be held in Drumahoe, Tullyally and Currynierin on Monday 22 May.

Derry City and Strabane District Council is applying for EU PEACEPLUS funding from the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) that, if successful, will be used to fund parks and outdoor public spaces in the local area. The application will be stronger if local people take part.

The overall objective of the Glendermott Shared Space Project is to address community tensions and the impact of the conflict on the area by regenerating the Green Spaces to create a high quality, well connected shared space.

Council will take the lead on the physical/capital part (ie. Masterplan is the design of the Green Infrastructure (GI) shared space) and the cross-community programming and animation of the spaces will be tendered out for delivery by relevant organisations working with local communities.

In May there is an initial series of open public workshops and no preregistration is necessary.

Interested groups and individuals are welcome to attend the most relevant and suitable workshop for them and preregistration is not required.

These Phase 1 workshops will be focusing specifically on what communities want in the cross-community participation programme part of the project.
