LISTEN: Kids characters touring the streets of Derry/Londonderry

by Peter Moor.

In an effort to boost the spirits of those living the Moor Area of Derry/Londonderry, some famous characters from TV and film have been touring the streets.

The initiative has been organised by the Triax Neighbourhood Management Team.

Tina Burke is the Community Development Worker who has helped to organise the superhero tour:

"We've come to bring the superheroes to all of our residents at this difficult time."

The characters are visiting numerous areas throughout the city including Creggan, Glenowen, Ardgrange, Grangemore, Cashlemore, Killea/ Nixons Corner, Bishop Street, Fountain, Bogside and the Brandywell.

"We wanted to boost the community spirit as there is no doubt the days can be daunting and monotonous."

"But these initiatives are great ways for us to get out and engage with the community."

Even with the wet weather on Wednesday, the children's favourites were still out in force.

The team are also being very careful to keep to social distancing rules whilst they are visiting all the different neighbourhoods in the area.
