Funding To Repair World War II Jetty Confirmed
Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland has confirmed funding of £20,000 to repair the World War II jetty at Fort George in L'Derry.
Part of the jetty has been fenced off for the past 18 months having been damaged when a ship collided with it in August 2012.
The repair work will include the replacement of railings and a new navigation light on the jetty. General maintenance works including power hosing and repainting will also be carried out.
Minister McCausland said: "This investment of £20,000 by the Executive, through the Department for Social Development, will allow the jetty to become fully operational again. Riverfront amenities are valuable assets that create a sense of place in any city. The refurbished jetty will complement the pedestrian and cycle paths running alongside the river and provide another focal point for both visitors and local people."
