Remedial works have been requested for a Kilkishen road described as “boggy”.
Cllr Alan O’Callaghan (FF) appealed to staff within the Killaloe Municipal District to complete remedial works on the road between Kilkishen National School and Enagh Cross and claimed it was “deteriorating to a dangerous level”.
At present, the L-7008 is not included in the roadworks programme, senior executive engineer, Niamh Madden stated. She outlined that it would be assessed, the feedback from which would determine if it was worth including in a future programme.
“In the meantime, the Killaloe Municipal District undertakes to carry out essential maintenance on this road in 2021,” Madden added.
Mid-term works could act as some help on “a very busy road,” Cllr O’Callaghan felt. “It is on a bit of boggy ground so it needs a bit of help. Some bit of help could be given to make it safer. A lot of people are using it to access the 12 O’Clock Hills and the school”.
Hope of an upgrade being carried out was voiced by Cllr Joe Cooney (FG). “Unfortunately it is a boggy section of the road two thirds out the way”.
