COMPLAINTS FROM RESIDENTS have led to a commitment from the local authority to undertake a speed survey on Dún Áras Avenue.
An appeal for speed survey measures was issued by Cllr Donna McGettigan (SF) on foot of representations from local residents. “Residents are complaining that there is speeding on that road” on Dún Áras Avenue leading down to the Ballycasey Craft Centre, she flagged.
Shannon Municipal District’s senior executive engineer, Tom Mellett said a speed and volume survey would be arranged for the location. “This will determine level of user, types of vehicles, speed and peak periods of activity by motorised vehicles. Should the data show an issue, a design will be prepared to alleviate the situation”.
Cllr McGettigan said she was pleased with the reply from the Council, the proposal was seconded by Cllr Gerry Flynn (IND).
