Ground investigation works are set to commence in the coming weeks at Creggan Reservoir in County L'Derry.

The works, to the reservoir embankments, will take place in two locations throughout July and August to reduce disruption for the public.

The first location is the Middle Reservoir Path, which connects Creggan to Glenowen, which will be closed from July 7 to July 28. The second location is the Lower Reservoir Path, which also connects Creggan to Glenowen, which will be closed between July 29 to August 15.

As one path will always be operational during the necessary site investigations, Derry City & Strabane District Council has requested that members of the public use the alternative connecting path during this time.

A council spokesperson explained: "Council is undertaking this essential works as part of the ongoing ground investigation works at the Creggan Reservoir site. Disruption will be kept to a minimum throughout the works but some diversions will be required to help people navigate the area. Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and appreciates the support and co-operation of the public."

A full report on the planned works will be brought to the Environment and Regeneration Committee in July.
