ENVIRONMENT Minister Alex Attwood intends escalating a scheme to clean up derelict sites in Portrush and Portstewart whilst Londonderry is being left behind after a bid for money to tidy up UK City of Culture 2013 was rejected by the Executive in the June monitoring round.

Mr Attwood said he intended building on a recent £405k revamp project in Portstewart and Portrush in the September monitoring round.

In July the Sentinel reported how Londonderry did not get any money to clean up derelict sites in the city ahead of UK City of Culture 2013.
