The chairman of the Recreation and Leisure Committee, Sean Carr, said he supported the need for better facilities within the Shantallow area and also welcomed the provision of facilities for the local community.

He also acknowledged the important role the LCF has played in funding the initiative.

The lack of infrastructure in the North West resulted in all three bids for the new arena being located in the Greater Belfast area, according to SDLP councillor Sean Carr.

"I welcome this plan to invest £55 million in sport, no matter where the stadium is located," he insisted.

Mr Carr, the chairman of Derry City Council's recreation and leisure committee, said other local sport issues now needed attention.

Looking forward to the skate park sessions, Recreation and Leisure committee chairman Sean Carr said: "Previous skateboarding events have been an overwhelming success and I am delighted that council have expanded the initiative into the summer months to include the event on Saturday at Templemore, plus an additional event at St Columb's Park on August 24.

"However, we are pleased to see that the Heritage Lottery Fund has commended the general plans for Brooke Park," said Mr Carr.

Chairman of the council's recreation and leisure committee Sean Carr said: "The skatepark events that have taken place in the city have been an overwhelming success offering skateboarding and rollerblading enthusiasts with a safe and controlled environment to display their skills and meet other fans of this extreme sport."

A total of 23 sessions will be taking place over the five-day event until August 28.

Congratulating the 'Newbuildings Community Association, Sean Carr, Chairman of Recreation and Leisure at Derry City Council said:

Sean Carr, the council's Recreation and Leisure Committee chairman, yesterday welcomed the consultation on the draft strategy.

He said: ‘‘The draft strategy states there is no reason to limit ambitions as we believe Derry is already a cultural city and the challenge is to sustain and develop this achievement by building on excellence, experience and participation.

"Through consultation with all arts, cultural, sports organisations and agencies we will actively seek comments on the recommendations and ensure the final strategy creates a framework that strengthens the cultural activity in the city and pushes the delivery of culture into a new era."

"Like Sean Carr, I too welcome this bold bid to improve the plentiful cultural resources of this city.The redefinition of Londonderry's heart as a cultural quarter, as suggested, is long overdue; Londonderry having one of the most eye pleasing and historically fascinating city centres in Europe.The greater recognition of the cultural/tourism jewel in the crown that is Derry's Walls, as part of this, is essential and something that has been largely overlooked for years by artistic types who were perhaps over sensitive about the political symbolism of the historic ramparts.
