"It was a pleasure to welcome members of the Fountain Street Community Association from Strabane to the Guildhall for a Meet and Greet reception," councillor McHugh.

"It was a great opportunity to hear directly from local residents and community leaders about the work being done in the area - and the positive impact it's having.

"Thank you to everyone who took part.

“Community engagement like this is vital to building a stronger, more connected city. I hope you all had a great day!"
