Kimmins announces information day for proposed Residents’ Parking Zone in Derry
Date published:
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has announced a public information event where residents in the vicinity of the Magee campus will have the opportunity to hear more about proposals for a Residents’ Parking Zone in the area.
The information day will be held on Thursday 4 June in the Minor Hall in the Main Magee Campus. Local residents or anyone interested in the scheme can call in during the following times: 10am – 12 noon; 2 pm – 4 pm; and 6 pm to 8 pm.
Minister Kimmins said:
“Parking is an issue of concern for residents in many areas, and I am committed, where possible, to doing what I can to try to alleviate some of those pressures. Last month I announced that the application process for a new streamlined approach to consider requests for demand-led residents’ parking zones was open. I would encourage those who believe their area would benefit from a residents’ parking zone to review the criteria and guidance and consider submitting an application before the closing date of 31 July.
“While that process is ongoing my Department has also been continuing to develop schemes where work has already commenced, including a proposed scheme in the vicinity of the Magee Campus in Derry. My officials have been engaging with residents over the past year and have now drafted a plan for what the proposed scheme would entail.
“To help provide more information and guidance for residents, my Department is hosting a drop in event at the Magee campus on Thursday 4 June. There will be an opportunity to discuss the details on how the scheme could operate and to help gauge how much support there is for the proposals. Residents and anyone interested in the scheme are welcome to attend.”
