McKillop disappointment over Cushendall zebra crossing

Speaking about the decision, Councillor Mc Killop said: “I had asked Roads Service about the possibility of installing a zebra crossing due to the number of elderly residents and school children in the area who cross the road every day. Roads Service did carry out a survey however they found that the number of people who cross the road each day does not meet their criteria for installing a zebra crossing.

“This is extremely disappointing, are Roads Service using the same criteria to decide if they should install crossings in rural villages as they do in urban areas?

“The strict use of criteria without taking into account the opinions of elected representatives and local people is wrong and it is unfortunate that Roads Service do not currently think it would be possible to install a crossing where it is so obviously needed.”
