Dear Residents<br />

Welcome to our second edition<br />

of Council’s Connect magazine<br />

with an update on Council services<br />

and events that are happening.<br />

It’s a chance for you see at first<br />

hand the work we are doing on<br />

the ground to deliver quality<br />

public services across the<br />

<strong>Derry</strong> City and <strong>Strabane</strong><br />

District Council area.<br />

I hope you have all had the<br />

chance to enjoy the summer<br />

and are feeling refreshed and<br />

energized, and are back to<br />

work and school for another<br />

busy term and ready to take<br />

an active part in the wide range<br />

of Council events and activities<br />

we are involved in.<br />

Since our inaugural edition that<br />

was published back in February<br />

we’ve had a Local Government<br />

Election that has resulted in<br />

a number of new faces in the<br />

Council chamber – including<br />

my own! This is an exciting and<br />

challenging time for our Council<br />

and a fantastic opportunity to<br />

work together to build on the<br />

positive work already underway<br />

in <strong>Derry</strong> and <strong>Strabane</strong>.<br />

In this edition we give an update<br />

on some of the wider corporate<br />

projects that Council is involved<br />

in as well as provide you with<br />

some information on up and<br />

coming events, the services<br />

we offer and an insight into what<br />

some of our partner organisations<br />

are doing with us to bring about<br />

positive change for our Council area.<br />

Since our first edition, we have<br />

enjoyed success on a number<br />

of fronts, we have secured<br />

a City Deal, confirmed funding<br />

for an £8m Riverine regeneration<br />

project, in <strong>Strabane</strong> invested in<br />

a number of play and community<br />

facilities and won awards for our<br />

Halloween festival and for our<br />

services at the Tower Museum.<br />

As a Council we continue to strive<br />

towards success and the delivery<br />

of quality services that meet the<br />

needs and vision set out in our<br />

Strategic Growth Plan and are<br />

looking forward to a busy autumn<br />

winter season and another hugely<br />

successful Halloween festival.<br />

I hope you enjoy reading the<br />

latest edition of the magazine<br />

and find it an informative and<br />

useful guide for your household.<br />

All feedback on services is welcome<br />

and if you have any suggestions<br />

on useful additions to the magazine,<br />

please do get in touch.<br />

significant heritage led anniversary.<br />

Visitors and locals will have<br />

enjoyed seeing an eclectic range<br />

of musical ensembles, dance audio<br />

plays, historical and contemporary<br />

<strong>Derry</strong> City and <strong>Strabane</strong><br />

District Council has been<br />

working proactively with<br />

its partners in the education,<br />

training, skills and businesses<br />

sectors to promote<br />

apprenticeships.<br />

As part of its Get Paid,<br />

Get Qualified, Get Ahead<br />

slogan, the Council has been<br />

working with the NW Regional<br />

College and other partners<br />

to put apprenticeships back<br />

at the heart of the education<br />

and training systems.<br />

In an effort to promote the<br />

message and get more young<br />

people to sign up, the Council<br />

has been showcasing a range<br />

of local success stories across<br />

the Council area, telling the<br />

stories of young people<br />

who have benefited from<br />

gaining an industry recognised<br />

qualification whilst in paid work.<br />

A key element of the campaign<br />

is also showing the benefits<br />

for businesses and the positive<br />

impact it has for them in terms<br />

of recruitment processes, affordable<br />

and motivated workforce and the<br />

ability to reduce skills shortages,<br />

address skills gaps and ultimately<br />

increase their productivity.<br />

If you are a young person<br />

interested in pursuing training<br />

and qualifications through an<br />

apprenticeship scheme visit<br />

Co-Delivery Group<br />

appointed to deliver<br />

Arts & Culture Strategy<br />

Council to benefit from<br />

£15m for Fibre Broadband<br />

<strong>Derry</strong> City and <strong>Strabane</strong><br />

District Council is one of<br />

a number of Councils across<br />

NI to receive funding to further<br />

boost fibre availability. The<br />

£15m funding comes from the<br />

Department for Digital, Culture,<br />

Media and Sport (DCMS) through<br />

its Local Full Fibre Networks<br />

Programme (LFFN).<br />

In June 2018, Northern Ireland<br />

councils came together to form<br />

the Full Fibre Northern Ireland<br />

Consortium (FFNI to implement<br />

an exciting new collaborative<br />

programme to drive greater<br />

investment in fibre and digital<br />

infrastructure across the region.<br />

The project will enable Council to<br />

significantly develop its ability to<br />

deliver services and improve access<br />

for communities and residents. Its<br />

hoped that this will be the first of<br />

many such investments<br />

over the next few years.<br />

This £15 million boost for<br />

gigabit speeds in Northern<br />

Ireland will benefit homes and<br />

businesses across the country<br />

and I congratulate the Full<br />

Fibre Northern Ireland Consortium<br />

in its successful bid. Currently<br />

only 12% of premises in Northern<br />

Ireland have access to full fibre<br />

connectivity and outside of<br />

the major conurbations the<br />

figure is much lower.<br />

It will provide a vital local<br />

link for future DCMS digital<br />

programmes and will continue<br />

to work closely with the<br />

Department for the Economy<br />

and associated initiatives to<br />

ensure a joined-up approach<br />

to digital investment<br />

across the region.<br />

A Co-Delivery Design group<br />

to oversee the implementation<br />

of Council’s new Arts and Culture<br />

Strategy (2019-2024) for the<br />

City and District was appointed<br />

over the summer. The strategy<br />

will complement Council’s<br />

Tourism Strategy and Integrated<br />

Economic Development Strategy.<br />

The aims are to engage citizens<br />

and grow audiences, deliver<br />

a high quality arts programme,<br />

invest in the potential of our<br />

creative sector, strengthen<br />

the cultural infrastructure<br />

of the region while growing<br />

employment opportunities<br />

and demonstrate and<br />

communicate the difference<br />

that our community makes.<br />

In addition to inviting relevant<br />

statutory and support agencies<br />

this advisory group will include<br />

Council’s elected Members on<br />

a cross party basis as well as<br />

Council Officers. The group will<br />

meet four times per annum as<br />

well as deliver an open annual<br />

meeting to review the strategy,<br />

discuss progress and consider<br />

ongoing process implementation.<br />

The full list of selected nominees<br />

are: Cath McBride, Eibhlín Ní<br />

Dhochartaigh, Stephen Batts,<br />

Catherine Hemelryk, Edel MacBride,<br />

Lisa Heaney, Derek Moore, Rachel<br />

Melaugh, Fiona Umetsu, Pauline<br />

Gardiner, Anne McMaster,<br />

James Kee and Tommy Barr.<br />

European Regional Development<br />

Fund under the Investment for<br />

Growth & Jobs Northern Ireland<br />

(2014-2020) Programme.<br />

After many months of intensive<br />

work May brought the<br />

announcement of a City Deal<br />

package for <strong>Derry</strong> and <strong>Strabane</strong><br />

that will be pivotal to driving<br />

forwards the ambitions for<br />

growth here in the North West.<br />

Council and its partners are<br />

extremely proud of the efforts<br />

that have gone in to securing<br />

the funding package that will<br />

see £105m channelled into<br />

priority projects here, with<br />

the potential to leverage an<br />

overall economic boost of<br />

upwards of £300m with the<br />

support of government and<br />

other third parties over<br />

the coming years.<br />

With a clear blueprint for<br />

transformation already<br />

developed in the form of the<br />

Strategic Growth Plan, we can<br />

look forward to major advances<br />

in infrastructure, education, skills,<br />

innovation and regeneration.<br />

The City Deal funding will be<br />

used to drive innovation and<br />

smart/digital cities projects<br />

focusing on innovation and<br />

data analytics and robotics and<br />

automation along with key smart<br />

digital city and region initiatives.<br />

Priority will be placed on bringing<br />

forward the development of the<br />

Graduate Medical School, the<br />

further expansion at Magee, the<br />

provision of mixed-use facilities<br />

as part of the regeneration of<br />

<strong>Strabane</strong> Town Centre and the<br />

delivery of a Personalised Medicine<br />

Centre of Excellence at Magee.<br />

Other key projects include<br />

the development of civic and<br />

commercial offices on Foyle<br />

Street and riverfront regeneration<br />

as well as key tourism, economic<br />

and social projects.<br />

Council and its partners are working<br />

with Government to identifying the<br />

most impactful projects thatcan<br />

move forward. This work will pick<br />

up pace in the coming months to<br />

establish the structures needed to<br />

further progress the business cases<br />

for these priority projects and to<br />

set the wheels in motion for their<br />

delivery and the transformation of<br />

the North West City Region.<br />

Progress continues<br />

on Ebrington<br />

Progress on Ebrington continues<br />

with the recent announcements<br />

that a new hotel and high quality<br />

office accommodation building<br />

will be built on the site.<br />

Works on these two key projects<br />

were scheduled to commence<br />

at the end of the summer but<br />

visitors will have seen the new<br />

Square opening at the start of<br />

June with its new grassed public<br />

area. New site signage adds to<br />

the character of the Square and<br />

helps direct visitors to the local<br />

businesses situated there.<br />

Several events are planned on<br />

the Square and other site areas over<br />

the summer months, with a concert<br />

and Fun Fair planned for Halloween.<br />

The impressive new Limavady<br />

Road entrance has been designed<br />

to improve access to the site and<br />

will aid traffic and pedestrian flow<br />

around the development. The<br />

new entrance and road, including<br />

an onsite car park, will<br />

open mid-summer.<br />

Most of the buildings have been<br />

leased or have a development<br />

agreement in place and the final<br />

available buildings were placed<br />

on the open market in June.<br />

Further details on the<br />

development of each building<br />

and future plans for the site<br />

are available at https://www.<br />

International<br />

Appalachian Trail<br />

Council is working with its<br />

partners on the development<br />

of the International Appalachian<br />

Trail project, a 282 miles route<br />

running from west Donegal to<br />

Larne, that will see significant<br />

investment in this long-distance<br />

walking trail in the coming years.<br />

<strong>Derry</strong> City and <strong>Strabane</strong><br />

District Council is the lead<br />

partner and is working alongside<br />

five neighbouring Councils<br />

including Donegal, to maximise<br />

the opportunities the Trail will<br />

present to the region in terms<br />

of business and tourism.<br />

The Ulster Ireland section of the<br />

International Appalachian Trail<br />

starts at Bunglas Viewpoint in the<br />

spectacular Sliabh Liag Mountains<br />

and passes through the Blue Stack<br />

Mountains in Co Donegal before<br />

crossing the border into Northern<br />

Ireland. Here the route picks up<br />

the Ulster Way where it takes<br />

in the landscapes of Tyrone<br />

and the Sperrins, passing onto<br />

the Giant’s Causeway and<br />

the stunning north Antrim<br />

coastline before traversing<br />

the Glens of Antrim and<br />

finishing at the port of Larne.<br />

The Ulster Ireland chapter<br />

of Trail is just one of a number<br />

of chapters which comprise<br />

the International Appalachian<br />

Trail family and which include<br />

among others Maine in the US,<br />

Quebec in Canada, Iceland,<br />

England, Scotland, Wales,<br />

Netherlands, Denmark,<br />

Sweden, Norway, France,<br />

Spain and Morocco.<br />

All chapters share a common goal<br />

to establish a network of walking<br />

trails that extend beyond borders<br />

to all geographic regions once<br />

connected by the Appalachian-<br />

Caledonian orogen, formed more<br />

than 250 million years ago on the<br />

super-continent Pangea.<br />

Not seen before objects<br />

in Tower Museum’s Walls<br />

400 exhibition<br />

Got a complaint?<br />

The Consumer Council<br />

may be able to help!<br />

As part of our Walls 400<br />

celebrations the Tower Museum<br />

has curated a unique exhibition<br />

using a treasure trove of objects<br />

and archive materials from its<br />

collections to tell the story of<br />

the Walls, the city and its people.<br />

Constructed between 1613 and<br />

1619, the Walled City is the only<br />

remaining completely walled city<br />

in Ireland and one of the finest<br />

examples in Europe.The exhibition<br />

which has been opened since<br />

mid-July and will run until 26<br />

January 2020, displays some<br />

objects never been seen<br />

before, including pottery,<br />

ceramics, leather and currency<br />

unearthed in archaeological<br />

digs in 1970s & 1980s.<br />

These objects not only tell us<br />

about life and events within,<br />

without and around the walls<br />

from the last 400 years, but also<br />

help us to understand how people<br />

would have lived day to day. It<br />

is a fascinating story of social<br />

history that spans war, rebellion,<br />

peace and culture.<br />

Last year The Consumer Council<br />

dealt with over 5,000 complaints<br />

and enquiries, returning over<br />

£191,000 to consumers in Northern<br />

Ireland. <strong>Derry</strong> City and <strong>Strabane</strong><br />

District Council has teamed up<br />

encourage the public in <strong>Derry</strong><br />

and <strong>Strabane</strong> to avail of their<br />

free service and get help and<br />

of every day issues.<br />

The Consumer Council was set<br />

up over 30 years ago to promote<br />

for a better deal for all consumers<br />

and have a complaints handling<br />

team who can help you with issues<br />

about your electricity, gas, water<br />

and sewerage, trains, WWs, ferries,<br />

buses or post. They can also help<br />

with private car parking charges,<br />

if you have not already<br />

contacted the company<br />

who issued the charge.<br />

<strong>Strabane</strong> District Council who<br />

are worried about the accuracy<br />

of an electricity bill, or have<br />

received a private car parking<br />

notice, are encouraged to get in<br />

touch. They also offer advice if<br />

you have experienced a flight delay<br />

or cancellation and are unsure of<br />

your rights or if you are a farmer or<br />

business owner and have concerns<br />

over a larger than usual water bill.<br />

The Consumer Council also<br />

provides the public with the<br />

tools needed to shop around<br />

for the best deal and to help make<br />

the household budget go further.<br />

The Consumer Council has a free<br />

Clipper Race set<br />

to return for Foyle<br />

Maritime Festival 2020<br />

We are delighted to announce that<br />

the international Clipper Round the<br />

World Race is coming back and<br />

will be a feature of our much-loved<br />

Foyle Maritime Festival set to take<br />

place 25 July – 02 August 2020.<br />

Council is really proud of the<br />

relationship it has with the<br />

Clipper Race and to be a host<br />

port for the 2019/20 Race.<br />

The City has a strong working<br />

relationship with Clipper Ventures<br />

in supporting this global event<br />

and looking back over the past<br />

four races we have experienced<br />

some of the happiest and most<br />

memorable moments for our city<br />

being part of this phenomenal race.<br />

The partnership with Clipper<br />

Ventures gives a significant<br />

international exposure as the<br />

Race takes in 14 ports in six<br />

continents and helps us<br />

position our city and region as<br />

a world-class visitor destination.<br />

In 2018 the Foyle Maritime<br />

Festival attracted over 210,000<br />

attendees with international<br />

visitors accounting for 30% per<br />

cent of those who visited the city,<br />

30<br />

an increase of almost 400% on<br />

when the city first hosted this<br />

prestigious race in 2012. With over<br />

19,000 bed nights purchased for the<br />

festival and an estimated economic<br />

impact of at least £2million for the<br />

local economy the success of acting<br />

as a host port in 2018 benefited the<br />

city and region financially as well<br />

as achieving a global promotional<br />

campaign valued at £4.8 million.<br />

Bringing it back to the city in<br />

the summer of 2020 opens up a<br />

variety of opportunities for us to<br />

celebrate all that is good about our<br />

city and region. Not only can we<br />

promote the city and region to a<br />

global audience but we can use it<br />

to drive visitor numbers, encourage<br />

businesses to participate and help<br />

drive the economy and showcase<br />

our wonderful maritime heritage.<br />

The Festival and Events team<br />

are working over the winter<br />

months with our partners to<br />

put together an extensive<br />

festival programme of events<br />

for the festival.<br />

Further details of the festival<br />

will be available online and via<br />

our Foyle Maritime Festival<br />

facebook and twitter platforms<br />

local, clean, fair food from<br />

across the North West.<br />

The Festival features a Slow<br />

Food Harvest Market, talks &<br />

community as an event space as<br />

well as a transport facility.<br />

NWMMTH will be a vital gateway<br />

to and from the North-West<br />

region, and will act as a catalyst<br />

for development in the Waterside/<br />

Duke Street area. It will also help to<br />

support local business, leisure and<br />

tourism. Alongside the protection<br />

of the Grade B-listed structure, the<br />

project will encourage a modal shift<br />

in transport habits by providing for<br />

integrated and convenient services,<br />

encouraging more active travel for<br />

a healthier region, all of which helps<br />

to fulfil Translink’s vision of making<br />

public transport ‘your first choice<br />

for travel’ in Northern Ireland.<br />

North-West Multi-Modal<br />

Hub on Track!<br />

Work is progressing well on<br />

the North-West Multi-Modal<br />

Transport Hub (NWMMTH),<br />

with Phase 1 works on track to<br />

complete during October 2019.<br />

This will include refurbishment<br />

work on the Grade B-listed<br />

Waterside Train Station, the<br />

focal point of the new facility,<br />

as well as associated track and<br />

signalling works. The entire<br />

project will complete during 2020.<br />

Representing an investment<br />

of around £27m, funding for this<br />

major project has been secured<br />

from the European Union’s<br />

INTERREG VA Programme,<br />

managed by the Special EU<br />

Programmes Board (SEUPB),<br />

with match funding provided<br />

by the Department for<br />

Infrastructure and the<br />

Department for Transport,<br />

Tourism and Sport in the<br />

Republic of Ireland.<br />

Phase 1 work has focused on the<br />

Victorian station building, including<br />

refurbishing the iconic clock tower,<br />

platform reconstruction and track<br />

work. Phase 2 works will focus<br />

on the construction of a new bus<br />

turning circle, the demolition of the<br />

existing 1980s’-era station building,<br />

river wall works and the provision<br />

of an approximately 90-space<br />

park and ride site.<br />

NWMMTH will also provide a<br />

new greenway link to the city<br />

centre via the Peace Bridge,<br />

alongside additional cycle<br />

storage and an integrated<br />

facility for the provision of<br />

local bus and rail services.<br />

Community engagement work<br />

is ongoing, with Translink leading<br />

engagement with local schools and<br />

training organisations in the city.<br />

Translink is also co-operating with<br />

the Council to lead efforts to fully<br />

integrate NWMMTH into the wider<br />

North West Greenway<br />

pedals ahead<br />

Together with our partners,<br />

we are building 46.5km of<br />

cross-border greenways<br />

including, <strong>Derry</strong> – Buncrana,<br />

<strong>Derry</strong> – Muff and <strong>Strabane</strong> – Lifford.<br />

This exciting project is connecting<br />

people and places and is in<br />

addition to our expanding city<br />

greenway network that has been<br />

developed recently at Kilfennan,<br />

Clooney, St Columb’s Park Avenue<br />

and Ebrington next to the new<br />

Multi-Modal Transport Hub.<br />

Over the coming months, we hope<br />

to secure planning permission for<br />

the Culmore, Muff and <strong>Strabane</strong><br />

sections and continue negotiations<br />

with landowners in order to secure<br />

spaces, with a view to starting<br />

construction works in Muff, <strong>Strabane</strong><br />

were awarded at the PCSP<br />

www.recyclinglistireland.ie<br />

Community Safety Awards<br />

event over the summer for<br />

their ‘Contribution to<br />

Embedding a Culture of<br />

Lawfulness’ thanks to a<br />

special film it produced<br />

entitled ‘Recruited’. The<br />

team were also runners up<br />

in two other categories for<br />

the partnership’s work in<br />

‘Making an Outstanding<br />

Impact in Tackling Anti-social<br />

Behaviour’ through the<br />

35<br />

Community Safety Warden<br />

team, and achieving<br />

‘Excellence in Collaboration’<br />

through the <strong>Derry</strong> and <strong>Strabane</strong><br />

Multi-Agency Support Hub.<br />

The awards are made in<br />

recognition of the ongoing<br />

efforts to improve community<br />

safety and to boost confidence<br />

in policing and is reflective of<br />

the very positive work being<br />

done with community organisations<br />

and statutory partners to make<br />

a difference in our City and District<br />

through a wide range of innovative<br />

programmes and projects, often<br />

in very challenging circumstances.
