Sinn Féin Councillor Fergal Lennon has welcomed the resurfacing of the Tullygally East Road which runs past Carrigart, Meadowbrook and Drumbeg.

However, Mr Lennon a;so expressed dosappointment the opportunity had not been taken to install a roundabout at the entrance to Meadowbrook estate.

He said: “This investment in the local infrastructure is most welcome even with the disruption caused over a number of days to local people and commuters.

“However, it is disappointing that the opportunity was not taken at this time to install a roundabout at the junction of the Tullygally East Road, Old Portadown road and the entrance to the Meadowbrook estate.

“Local residents and I have been lobbying for improved road safety measures at this junction for a considerable time and while we are disappointed, we are not defeated and we will continue to lobby for such work until we are successful.”
