Tullyallen roads will be gritted
SINN Féin Councillor David Saurin has welcomed Louth County Council’s decision to include the main road through the village of Tullyallen in its 2018-2019 Winter Gritting programme.
Cllr Saurin said “I raised the issue of gritting the road through Tullyallen Village with Council officials last year and although I was told that the finances were not available in the budget to carry out the work at that time, I did receive a commitment that the issue would be reviewed for this year’s Gritting Programme.
“In fairness to the officials and to give credit where it’s due, the Council have listened to the safety concerns and acted accordingly.’
He is also calling on Louth County Council to extend the double yellow lines running along the road from Barrack Street around Millmount to Mount St. Oliver.
“I have recently been contacted by residents in Mount St. Oliver expressing concern about parking along the road at the blind corner just where the road skirts the walls of Millmount from Barrack Street leading into Mount St. Oliver,’ he stated.
“The double yellow lines stop just on this blind bend causing cars approaching from Barrack Street to move into the middle of the road when there are cars parked.’
