Row over Waterside playparks funding

North West Today

Available for 8 days

A row has broken out among councillors over the funding of play parks in the Waterside. The DUP has criticised nationalist parties over a decision not to approve council money for a playpark in Tullyally. They claim the decision is 'damaging for good relations in the city,' however Sinn Fein and the SDLP says it was based on fairness. The Metropolitan Police reviews accusations of misconduct in public office after Lord Mandelson was accused of passing on sensitive government information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Also on North West Today, we look ahead to the start of the new League of Ireland Premier Division and speak to Derry City FC goalkeeper Brian Maher.
