The vision for transportation contained within the RDS, as defined in the RTS, is “To have a modern, sustainable, safe transportation system which benefits society, the economy and the environment and which NORTHERN CORRIDOR actively contributes to social inclusion and everyone’s quality of life”. The RSTN-TP represents a balanced approach to meeting Northern Ireland’s strategic transport LONDONDERRY needs over the defined 10 year period, making a vital contribution to the social and economic development of the region. The RSTN of Northern Ireland comprises the complete rail network, five Key Transport Corridors (KTCs), four Link Corridors, the Belfast Metropolitan Transport Corridors and the remainder of the NORTH WESTERN CORRIDOR trunk road network. The Plan consists of proposals for the maintenance, management and development of this transport network up to the end of 2015. WESTERN CORRIDOR The KTCs represent the top tier of the Region’s long distance routes connecting the cities and main towns to the major regional gateways and the Belfast Metropolitan Area (BMA) and are as follows: BELFAST the Eastern Seaboard Corridor – road and rail links between BMA and Dublin and northward to Larne, improving access to Warrenpoint and Rosslare; the Northern Corridor – links the BMA to Antrim, Ballymena, Ballymoney, Coleraine, Limavady and Londonderry by road and rail; the North Western Corridor – links the BMA to Londonderry, strengthening access to Belfast International Airport; the Western Corridor – links west of Lough Neagh connecting Donegal, Londonderry, Figure 1.1 – RSTN Key Transport Corridors Strabane, Omagh and onward to Monaghan and Dublin; and the South Western Corridor – links the BMA to Craigavon, the Fermanagh Lakelands, the Sperrins and to important cross-border routes. The five KTCs, highlighting the Northern, North Western and Western Corridors, are shown in Figure 1.1 opposite. Londonderry is located at the intersection of the Northern, North Western and Western Key Transport Corridors. Final Report 1 25 February 2010 Roads Service Improved Roads Linking Around Londonderry Review of the Strategic Road Network 1.2 Aim of the Study Scott Wilson was appointed by Roads Service to undertake a high level study of traffic movements around the city of Londonderry on the strategic road network and to consider how traffic on these strategic routes could best be distributed into and around the city. The key elements of the study are as follows: Assemble information concerning proposals in the area; Assess the impact of the A2, A5 and A6 improvement schemes; Prepare a report on the current and future situation, making recommendations on how best to distribute traffic into and around the city; and Recommend a programme of further work. This report has been prepared based on the assembled information and focuses on a review of the current and future traffic situation around the city and includes recommendations on how best to distribute traffic into and around the city. To address the requirements of the study, the available information has been reviewed, a general study area has been defined and various transport corridors have been considered. The results of an Initial Feasibility Study for providing a new road link between the A5 and A6, considering indicative route options and key environmental constraints, are reported separately. General location plans of the study area are shown in Figures 1.2 to 1.4. 1.3 Report Structure This report has been prepared to describe the work undertaken to satisfy the requirements of the study. Chapter 2 presents a high-level review of existing conditions within the study area. Chapter 3 summarises the consultations which have taken place with the key stakeholders during the course of the study.

This should include a description of the target area you are seeking to serve within the advertised licence area, and also any areas you are aiming to serve outside the advertised licence area for this small-scale radio multiplex service. (You may refer to your coverage prediction in the response you provide): Derry is the second largest city in Northern Ireland, characterised by its distinctively hilly topography. The River Foyle forms a deep valley as it flows through the city, which presents challenges for radio transmission whilst also explaining our choice of name for the multiplex. Derry Urban Area (DUA), includes the city and the neighbouring towns of Culmore, Newbuildings and Strathfoyle. On census day (27 March 2011) there were 81,902 people living in Derry Urban Area. This accounts for the 77.2% of the people in Ofcom’s ‘Derry/Londonderry’ Polygon area.

The Framework presents findings from a creative process of analysis and reflection which involved individual members of the community, as well as representatives from local and central government. It provides an analysis of place and is a tool for informing action and investment. The Framework is intended to be used as a working document so that emerging opportunities can be identified and changing circumstances acknowledged. It begins by presenting information on what the Urban Villages Initiative is, what it is trying to achieve and how it will work. Section 2 then sets out the local context and presents key findings under three headings - strengths, symptoms and causes. Section 3 looks towards the future and sets out Strategic Actions which emerged through the process of engagement, evidence gathering and analysis. These can help to inform future investment plans as well as identifying opportunities for alignment of effort and collaboration around shared outcomes. Section 4 focuses on delivery. The Executive Office will take forward projects and programmes within its remit, and work with others to progress opportunities for shared delivery of outcomes, in keeping with the approach articulated in the draft Programme for Government Framework.
