SDLP West Tyrone Westminster
candidate Daniel McCrossan has criticised Roads Service for their failure to
take action on the concerns of local Strabane residents regarding safety along
Bailee road.
He said:
“Over the last few weeks I have been
contacted by a number of residents concerned about dangerous conditions on the
Bailee Road overlooking the old Strabane Glen. Regular users of the road is
will know it’s very narrow with no passing places for vehicles. At one
particular section there is only a few feet of grass verge between the road and
a cliff, dropping almost 100 ft.
“The issue of safety was brought to
my attention after a car sunk into the verge when pulling in to allow another
car to pass.
“I contacted Roads Service who placed
parking cones around the spot almost 8 weeks ago, but have done nothing to
secure the area since. This stretch of road has the potential to cause a
serious accident and poses a significant threat to road users unaware of the
area.
“I am now calling for a barrier to be
placed along this section to ensure road users are not put at risk. This is a
rural country road with no lights; therefore action must be taken to secure the
site immediately.”
