Call for Gardaí to combat excessive speed on local roads near Foxford Published: Sunday, 21 February 2021 14:18
A Mayo community is petrified by excessive speeding on road crossings between the N26 and N58.
That s according to Foxford-based Councillor Neil Cruise, who has called for members of An Garda Siochana to patrol the network of local roads around the Cloongullane Bridge road works.
The Fine Gael Councillor had called for speed ramps to be installed along the road at meetings of Mayo County Council and the Ballina Municipal District, to no avail.
He will bring the matter before the council s roads strategic policy committee next week.
THE opportunities are endless for an Enniskillen to Sligo Greenway, and now is the the time for representatives on both sides of the Border to push for it to become a reality – that’s according to a Leitrim county councillor. The greenway proposal comprises a 72km route heading west from Enniskillen, under the shadow of Belmore Mountain, turning through Belcoo and Blacklion and then on towards Sligo. Sean McDermott, a Fine Gael Councillor from Glenfarne, believes there are huge possibilities for tourism along the greenway. The greenway was specifically named in New Decade, New Approach, while the Republic’s government has set aside €500,000 to progress cross-Border infrastructural projects such as the Enniskillen to Sligo Greenway.
