Sligo Co. Council have been hedge and verge trimming along the R284 during week at the various junctions. Obviously it would be much better if they were in a position to trim all of the roadsides but it seems that it is not going to be the case. Any improvement is to be welcomed and certainly sight lines at the junctions will be well improved.
