Bonfire Blocks Road In L'Derry

Motorists are being advised to seek an alternative route due to a bonfire blocking a road in L'Derry.

The bonfire has been built on the Lecky Road in the Bogside area.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "Due to a bonfire being constructed on the Lecky Road, police are advising that motorists may wish to consider an alternative route rather than using the Lecky Road or Brandywell Road to enter the Bogside at this time."

Bonfires are traditionally set alight on 15 August to mark the Assumption.
