STREETSCAPE
What a relief it was to witness the free-flowing traffic through Buttevant as the roadworks were suspended for the bank holiday weekend. With the roadworks progressing rapidly it will not be long till the project is completed and the people of Buttevant will again have their street and footpaths returned to them.
Priority Contractors are to be congratulated on their excellent work and continuos perseverance in their pursuance of excellence throughout the whole project. When completed we will have a town to be proud of and everybody will be determined to show ‘pride of place’ in their place of inhabitance.
