ALL EXISTING road markings in the vicinity of St Senan’s National School in Shannon are to be refreshed.
In a motion before the Shannon Municipal District, Cllr David Griffin (FF) asked that Clare County Council “look at a better parking solution and traffic management plan to facilitate pick up and drop off times” at the primary school in Shannon.
Senior executive engineer in the Shannon MD, Tom Mellett confirmed that all existing road markings within the school’s vicinity would be refreshed. “A further assessment will follow as part of a wider traffic calming project for this area”.
He continued, “Responsibility for school drop off and pick-up times are the remit of the school”.
Speaking at the Shannon MD sitting, Cllr Griffin outlined that he had met with the school principal Jane O’Leary. “There’s issues on parking and traffic management, it is a dangerous spot at times”.
Griffin continued, “There was supposed to be some engagement” as he requested an update from the Council officials on this and the potential addition of a traffic warden.
Seconding the proposal, Cllr Tony Mulcahy (FG) commented, “if we are putting in any form of traffic tables or strips in the area we need to be careful, rumble strips wouldn’t be something to put in there”.
