New Homes In Shantallow Near Completion

The building of new homes at Bradleys Pass in Shantallow are nearing completion.

However, the SDLP is concerned that existing junction and adjoining thoroughfares are not adequate.

SDLP Councillor Angela Dobbins said: "I fully empathise with the need for houses to help alleviate the ongoing housing crisis; the junction from Bradleys Pass onto Glengalliagh Road remains a nightmare with long queues of traffic. There have also been frequent accidents.


"Soon, we will have more traffic on the main road resulting in longer delays. I am demanding DRD Roads Service to take appropriate action now. These houses have now been allocated with tenants due to take up residence in mid-September yet the roads still remain inadequate. The Bradleys Pass-Glengalliagh Rd junction is downright dangerous. The access from this development is approximately 30 m from the junction, 10m from Leafair junction, which will soon be used to accommodate construction vehicles for the upgrade of Leafair pavilion, and 50m from Lenamore junction."
