Residents of Carrigans have said they fear for the lives of children and families without a ramp to slow traffic at a dangerous stretch of road.
The concern grows after it’s believed that a car may have careened into a wall on the R236 road exiting the village towards the border. The stone wall was partly demolished.
A member of Carrigans Tidy Towns has pleaded for information and urgent measures.
“We desperately need a ramp at the failed traffic calming (failed because it does not slow traffic enough),” they said.
“I really can’t hide our disappointment. Eithre the wall owner or Tidy Towns pay (with people’s donations) for this too many times.
“The real danger is the day a child or family are walking on the footpath, a car mounted the footpath before and demolished the wall where the rail fence is newly erected (and rail fence rather than rebuild the wall because it will be demolished by a vehicle in due course). I really hope nobody will be injured.”
The Tidy Towns committee recently celebrated the arrival of a beautiful wooden carving, which is located just a stone’s throw from the latest collision site.
