Independents join Irish Unity working group on Derry & Strabane Council
The composition of a Derry & Strabane Council Irish Unity Working Group is to be broadened to include independent representatives.

A number of Independent Councillors initiated a Call-In process to challenge a decision taken back in April, saying: ‘We believe the democratic mandate of the Council will be better served by including a broader number of Councillors, including Independent Councillors, in the working group. It will also better serve our efforts toward shaping Council objectives.’
Council solicitor Philip Kingston addressed members saying; “You may recall that at the Council meeting on Thursday, April 29, 2021, a Notice of Motion was passed in relation to the establishment of a Working group on Irish Unity. In the course of the debate, an amendment was proposed by Councillor Gallagher which was seconded by Councillor Barr.”

The owner of an historic building in Derry has been fined £7,500 for carrying out unapproved work on the property.
The work was carried out at Clarence House at 15 Northland Road without the required planning permission.
Under planning laws, work on listed buildings can only be carried out if specific planning permission has been secured.
Following the recent unapproved work at Clarence House, Derry City and Strabane District Council, which is responsible for local planning issues, took the owner of the property to court.
