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.”
