The addition of the new houses, apartments and accessible bungalows brings the total number of homes in the Ard na Smoll area to 52.Ms Donnelly says she loves the new 4-bedroom bungalow provided for her family and says it’s particularly exciting for her 11-year-old son Sean who uses a wheelchair. After nine years of waiting for a suitable home, the Derry native said she can’t wait to move in and make it their own.
"We’ve been living in unsuitable accommodation for so long and that has always created worry for me about the difficulties we’d face in the case of a fire. I’m so relieved we’ll now be living in such a modern and safe home. The development is close to the town centre and all the amenities it has to offer, with a children’s playpark also provided on-site.
