Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on the publication of the Living With Water in Derry/Londonderry Plan for consultation.

Answer:

My Department is leading on the development of a Living With Water in Derry Plan, to help protect against flooding, enhance the environment and support economic growth.

My officials have been engaging with key stakeholders during the development of the draft Plan, including Derry City & Strabane District Council, Northern Ireland Housing Executive, and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs.

‘A Vision for Living With Water in Derry’, a pre curser to the Plan, was published in May 2023. The draft Plan is due to be published for consultation later in the year.
