Department for Infrastructure to introduce No-Waiting Zone at Derry's Lecky Road

Sinn Féin councillor for the Moor Aisling Hutton has welcomed news that the Department for Infrastructure intends to introduce a No-Waiting Zone at the section of Lecky Road in front of Joseph Place. 

She said it should remove ongoing issues with cars and tourist coaches blocking the path of oncoming motorists at one of Derrys busiest junctions:

"Having lobbied the Department for Infrastructure I am pleased that these proposals have been made to prevent vehicles parking on the dual carriageway in front of Joseph Place.

"This was causing significant risk to motorists turning into the carriageway from the junction in front of the H-Block monument and creating the potential for collisions and perhaps worse.

"I would ask commuters to observe the restrictions which should considerably improve road safety in the area"
