Calls for new crash barrier along Strabane Cemetery

This week the SDLP in Strabane have called on DRD Roads Service to fix the crash barrier along the road leading to Strabane Cemetery.   

Speaking on the issue Strabane District Councillor Patsy Kelly said “We are calling for a crash barrier to be replaced along the Strabane Cemetery. This is a serious problem which needs to be addressed immediately by Roads Service”

“The existing crash barrier is inadequate and it must be replaced before there is a serious accident. The dangerous condition of the barrier means that if a car were to run off the road it would not be stopped by the old damaged barrier, resulting in the car going through the fence and a possible tragedy. There is no reason why this should ever be the case and so the barrier should be replaced promptly.”

“If it was fixed in the near future before an accident it would save further costs of having to fix the fence and damage done to the graveyard if a car were to crash into it. I would call on Roads Service to carry out this work as soon as possible.”
