HC Deb 18 May 1972 vol 837 c199W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what plans to build play centres and complete housing developments have been delayed by the existence of no-go areas.

Mr. David Howell

Delays have been experienced in the construction of 138 houses in the Frederick Street—William Street area of Londonderry, and a contract for 36 houses at Green Walk, Creggan, had to be abandoned in August, 1969. In addition, it has not been possible to proceed with the letting of contracts for 10 houses at Southway and 20 houses at Pilot's Row in the Leckey Road area.

The planning of adventure playgrounds in the Creggan and Bogside areas of Londonderry is proceeding.
