Plans for major drainage scheme in Magherafelt
The scheme is currently at the design stage and it is hoped work will start on site later this year.
Local SDLP Councillor Jim Campbell said that this was good news for residents in these parts of the town and also the wider catchment area.

“Prevailing climatic conditions in recent winters have also exacerbated matters and it is vital that these long overdue improvements are completed without undue delay.”
A copy of the proposed scheme is available for inspection at Magherafelt District Council Offices from 9am to 5pm.
