Northern Ireland’s Department for Infrastructure and Derry City and Strabane District Council opened a public consultation on November 11 on options for the £45 million Derry Central Riverfront Project. Online responses are open through December 11, 2026.

The project is to be funded through the regional City Deal. The proposals include changes to road layouts, better walking and cycling routes, and new public spaces along the riverfront.

After reviewing the feedback, the partners plan to present a preferred option at another public event in spring 2027. They intend to submit a planning application in autumn 2027 after considering feedback on that option.
