DEFERRED MOTIONS

  1. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillor M. Casserly:
    “Can Sligo County Council address the “dire” traffic situation in relation to speed and congestion on the Doorly Park Road.  The area concerned is from the old Gate Lodge stretching up to the top of the road to where there is a right hand turn that goes up to Lidl and the road widens considerably”. 
      
  2. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillor M. Casserly:
    “That Sligo County Council Roads Department address the following issues of the dangerous junction on the Moneylahan road in Ballintrillick:

    There is a mirror in-situ but the ditch on the left hand side of the road which exits onto the main Ballintrillick road causes a huge visibility problem as it is a bad blind spot and oncoming traffic cannot be seen.

    Also, the road needs to be resurfaced in areas and potholes are a frequent problem.

    Another big issue is the speed at which vehicles are travelling and as it is such a narrow road and drivers are frequently in the ditch to avoid the oncoming large vehicles and haulage trucks.” 
      
  3. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillor M. Casserly:

    “That Sligo County Council roads department explore the possibility of installing ramps on the Mullaghmore road leading from the Castle Gatehouse to Mullaghmore village.

    Traffic is speeding in and out of the village at double the speed limit at all hours of the day from very early morning to late evening in all seasons. Very concerned local residents are requesting that ramps are installed before the summer season starts and before there is a serious accident or a life lost.

    Along this stretch of road within a short distance of 300 metres there is a drive - in entrance to the beach, a pedestrian entrance and 5 step entrances on the right side of the road. On the opposite side of the road there are 2 entrances to 2 separate caravan parks, 3 residential roads and 3 roadside houses.

    This is a very busy, dangerous section of road especially during the busy tourist season.” 
      
  4. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillor M. Casserly:
    “That the cycle paths around Sligo town and on the Rosses Point and Strandhill Roads be cleaned and hedges and overhanging branches be cut back for walkers, runners, utility and club cyclists.” 
      
  5. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillor S. Kilgannon:
    “That funding be put in place for the upgrading of the footpath on the Western side in Carney and to extend the footpath around the corner on the Lissadell road, also the speed limit sign be moved out past the Oxfield Sports Ground on road no 253.”

  2. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillor M. Casserly: 
    “That the issue of car parking be addressed at the new Little Cottage Cafe and Rosses Point Post Office.  Residents and the Tidy Towns Committee are concerned that there is a safety issue re parking at these two locations and the Area Engineer and roads department investigate this further.”
