UK government decision comes less than a week before signing of £250m City Deal for Derry and Strabane
A halt to City and Growth Deals by the UK government has been slammed as "unacceptable and deplorable" by Northern Ireland's top politicians.
First Minister Michelle O’Neill said: “The decision to pause funding for City and Growth Deals is unacceptable and deplorable, and I would urge the British Government to urgently reconsider. “Departments and Deal Partners will be urgently assessing what this pause means for the City and Growth Deals projects moving forward. There will be much detail to work out, but we will do that as a matter of urgency, alongside all relevant partners.”
