But residents have said since then there has been a lack of communication with the Department for Infrastructure over the scheduled work and that progress has been slow.Six weeks after the flood repair work is still ongoing at Maria Duffy's Ballycolman home."The hope is there now. When you see the workmen there. We are in better mood today, the form is better today because we see the work ongoing now," she told BBC Radio Foyle.
"It is a trauma that will last for some time. But stuff is being done, we are moving forward and all we can do is be thankful and hopeful," she said.As well as confirming work would begin on the temporary scheme, Mr O'Dowd said he also recognised "the need to introduce viable longer term solutions as swiftly as possible to reduce the impacts of further flooding".
