LOCALS WIN BATTLE AS COUNCIL CAVES IN ON DANGEROUS ROAD

Donegal County Council has today carried out repairs to the side on the N56 road in Loughanure village where several pedestrians sustained serious injuries in recent weeks.

A section of the main road was stepped lower at one point by several inches along a fence and was a real danger for pedestrians.

One elderly woman spent several weeks in hospital care after falling there.

The woman broke a bone in her arm when she fell at the scene while another young mother also had to receive hospital treatment when she too fell.

A number of people had contacted the council who had erected cones to inform people of the dip in the road but no other action had been taken.

A layer of tarmac has been put in place in place Tuesday to bring the road side to the correct level.

Donegal County Council is understood to be in negotiations with a local landowner with a view of putting a footpath at the location.

This is the only piece of the N56 in the village that has no footpath.
