I look forward to reading the long-awaited report on Rugby Road, given that the development of any residents' parking scheme across the North has been contingent on the publication of that review's report. My Foyle colleague mentioned the Bogside parking scheme in Derry. Is the Minister aware that all our parking schemes in Derry have been delayed even further and are contingent on the success of a Bogside scheme? Will he commit to looking at those issues in parallel?
