Ebrington Development Could Support 2,400 Jobs

Redevelop of Londonderry's Ebrington site could create some 2,400 jobs, urban regeneration company Ilex has said.

A public consultation of the proposed development began on Tuesday. It is understood that the public have called for a cinema, a concert space and cafes to be included in the proposals.

The Waterside site was a key feature during Derry's time as the UK City of Culture, but the Venue erected at the site was taken down at the end of the years events.

Ilex project manager, Andy Patterson, has said that the proposed development could support over 2,000 jobs and generate millions.

The public consultation will run until march.
