A historic building on Pump Street in Derry sustained damage during Storm Amy last October. The incident displaced residents and disrupted local businesses. In November 2025, part of the former convent building's facework collapsed, sending bricks onto the street.

Derry and Strabane councillors received an update on the site during a Business and Culture Committee meeting in March. The council's Planning Department had earlier that month processed a Listed Building Consent application for partial demolition.

Council officers meet regularly with contractors and traders affected by the ongoing works. Director of Business and Culture Stephen Gillespie stated that owners must submit a valid planning application before full reopening can proceed.

Sinn Féin councillor Grace Uí Niallais asked if Pump Street would be ready for a planned Christmas market. Gillespie noted that more of the street is accessible now than initially after the damage, though containers remain in place and traders continue operating.

Councillor Harkin expressed concern over the lack of a planning application and offered to engage with owners alongside officers. Committee chair and SDLP councillor Rory Farrell requested a further update at the full council meeting in March.

The Cathedral Quarter Initiative had secured funding for a 2025 Christmas market on the street but could not proceed due to the partial closure over the holiday period. Councillors endorsed carrying over the funding application into the current financial year.
