OCCURRENCE OF ACCIDENTS in Doonass has prompted a local representative to seek the addition of bend warning signage in the area.
An appeal for the installation of black and amber sharp bend warning signage at the junction of the L-3050 and L-30501 in Doonass was made by Cllr Michael Begley (IND). He flagged, “there has been a number of accidents there in recent months”.
Senior executive engineer in the Shannon Municipal District, Tom Mellett confirmed a survey of the location would be completed “in order to determine the optimum for chevron signs and ensure there is capacity to accommodate them within the guidelines we are obligated to adhere to”.
Speaking at a meeting of the Shannon MD, Cllr Begley acknowledged his request was “not the easier one because you have a branch junction going at the same point”. He stated that an ESB pole was knocked in the area but was not replaced and that flooding had become an issue in April and May.
Cllr John Crowe (FG) seconded the proposal from the Clonlara representative.
