A spokesperson for the council said: "Derry City and Strabane District Council, in partnership with Derry City FC, is hosting an Information Day on Wednesday 31st May for local residents to view proposals for a safe standing terrace at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.

"Council is working alongside Derry City FC and their design team to develop a new covered safe standing terrace at the Brandywell Road end of the pitch. A full planning application has been submitted by Derry City FC and attendees at the Information Day will have an opportunity to review the proposed safe standing terrace and meet with representatives from the Club and their design team, along with Council officers to discuss the proposals."

Mayor Sandra Duffy said: “Council and Derry City FC have been working closely on this project and are keen to engage with the local community to keep them fully informed of the project throughout the process. Letters are being delivered to those living in the area inviting them to attend and to have their say,” she said.

Mark McIvor, Director at MCI Planning, said: "There will be consultation boards displaying planning application drawings and a computer generated image of the proposed safe standing terrace. Feedback from attendees will be collected by the design team and shared with Planning Officers at the Council ensuring that all contributions are heard".
