Council investment in Templemore sports complex welcomed
'The Templemore redevelopment is something the people of Derry have waited on for far too long' - Cllr Sandra Duffy
Derry City and Strabane District councillor Sandra Duffy (Sinn Féin) has welcomed the allocation of Council funding to enable the redevelopment of Templemore sports complex to progress.
The Ballyarnett councillor said: "The allocation of additional funding which was approved by the Council's Governance and Strategic Planning committee on Wednesday means that almost £100 million is now available to develop new leisure centres at both Templemore and in Strabane.
"The Templemore redevelopment is something the people of Derry have waited on for far too long.
“Whilst it was a priority for me when I joined council in 2014, it was clear that significant investment would be needed to allow the redevelopment of the site to become a reality.
"The strategic leadership of the council over recent years has contributed to the current position where we can now move forward with detailed designs and public consultation for the project. I look forward to seeing the project coming to fruition"
