A Londonderry primary school has closed due to a security alert in the Waterside area of the city.

Police received a report at about 10:15 BST on Wednesday that a suspicious package had been found on the Limavady Road.

A public safety operation is under way, with cordons in place in the area of Heron Way and Nelson Drive, however no one has been asked to leave their homes and roads remain open.

A Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) spokeswoman said nearby Ebrington Primary School and Nursery had made the precautionary decision to close for the remainder of the day.

Foyle College, which shares the same school site on the Limavady Road with the primary school, remains open.

PSNI Ch Insp Cherith Craig said police understood the level of disruption the alert is causing.

“But I want to reassure everyone we are working our way through this situation as quickly as possible and appreciate the co-operation and patience from the school community and the public as we do so,” the senior officer added.
