GRIT FOR TULLYALLEN
There is an online petition for the Louth Council to grit the village roads in Tullyallen during the frost and snow. Lots of locals were horrified by the roads last week when the first cold snap hit us but as we knew this was coming some are saying that this should have been gritted the night before and looking at some of the comments on the petition it is lucky that there wasn’t a serious accident in the village.
Even couriers who are experienced drivers have commented that Tullyallen was one of the worst they had come across last week. So if you can take a moment to have a look at the Tullyallen Village Notices page and sign the petition and let’s try and get some action on this for everyone.
