Concerns have been raised about flags erected at a play park in a new housing development in the Drumahoe area of Derry.

Sinn Féin councillor Christopher Jackson said: “Many residents have raised concerns about flags that have been erected at a play park on a housing development in Drumahoe. This is a new build, and no one should be erecting flags to try to mark out territory.

“It is intimidating for residents within the area, and I feel that it needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency.

“No one should feel intimidated in their own home or indeed the area they live in. We should all be working together to build and develop a shared city that is welcoming for all.

“We have made representations to the developer on behalf of the residents and will be bringing it to the attention of the PSNI."
