The Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd has pledged that the areas in Co Derry and Strabane will receive improved flood defences in the aftermath of heavy flooding over the weekend.
The commitment from the minister comes after he met with residents and business owners affected by flooding at the weekend on Tuesday.
The Minister visited homes and busineses in Drumahoe and Eglinton and other parts of Derry city and Strabane where at least 30- 40 homes are known to have internally flooded.
