A redevelopment project worth £11million for the Bogside in Derry has made "significant progress" after a deal with a landowner was finally agreed.
The Executive Office at Stormont said the site at Meenan Square - where a number of buildings including the Bogside Inn were demolished in 2021 to make way for an 'Urban Village' project - has now been purchased by Apex Housing Association.
Sinn Fein MLA Padraig Delargy welcomed news that construction is due to begin in the autumn, subject to planning permission.
