00:00The upgrade and signalisation of Call Roundabout is included in the planning conditions for the adjacent H30 housing development
00:06and it is the responsibility of the developer to deliver these works.
00:09My department has agreed an expedited programme with the developer which will see the upgrade delivered prior to occupation of the 263rd dwelling
00:16and prior to 30 November 2026, subject to ratification by Derry City and Strabane District Council's Planning Department.
00:23My officials are currently working with the developer to agree the detailed design
00:27and the upgrade and signalisation will reduce traffic congestion and improve road safety at Call Roundabout.
00:33Mr. Middleton
00:34Thank you Mr. Speaker. Could I thank the Minister for her response.
00:37The Minister will be aware that people living in my constituency are deeply frustrated by the inaction in addressing Call Roundabout.
00:44Will the Minister commit to giving a timeline as to when these issues will finally be addressed and that the roundabout will receive the proper measures that it deserves?
00:52Minister
00:53I've outlined a timeline in terms of moving this forward and subject to the ratification from Council.
01:02It has taken some time and I appreciate that and coming into post it was probably one of the first briefings that I met with officials in relation to.
01:10We have agreed to an expedited programme and I hope to see that delivered earlier than would previously have been the case.
