This week the SDLP in
Strabane have welcomed the works to the Bradley Way/Railway Street roundabout,
believing these road works will make safer a roundabout that many residents and
visitors to Strabane felt was dangerous.
Welcoming the works was SDLP Strabane District Councillor
Patsy Kelly who said “It is great to finally see this work being carried out on
this roundabout. The SDLP in Strabane have been contacted on a regular basis by
residents and visitors to Strabane who use this roundabout, saying how many
near misses there have been and a fear someone could be badly hurt in the
future if nothing was done.”
“Many people believed the problem lay around the visibility
of other cars when entering and exiting the roundabout. This was due to a
couple of lanes creating a blind spot because of their initial design. DRD
Roads Service has now carried out road works to elevate this problem for
drivers. I can say from using the roundabout myself, these works have made it a
lot safer.”
“The SDLP in Strabane hope this will safeguard the health and safety of motorists using this roundabout for the future.”
