Sinn Féin councillor Niall McAleer welcomes safety improvements planned for Stewartstown junction
Sinn Féin Councillor Niall McAleer has welcomed confirmation from the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) Roads that a safety assessment has now been completed at the junction of Donaghendry Road, Sherrigrim Road and West Street in Stewartstown, following concerns raised by local residents.
The Torrent representative said DfI Roads has advised him that several improvements will now be made at the junction, including upgrading ofexisting red warning signs to high-reflective signage, the addition of “SLOW” road markings, enhanced double-bar chevrons and refreshed junction and centre line road markings.
He said: “These concerns were raised with me by local residents and community representatives who view this location as particularly unsafe, so it is reassuring to see action being taken.”
“While these may seem like modest interventions, improved signage and road markings can make a real difference in alerting drivers and reducing risk at busy junctions. I will continue to engage with DfI to ensure these works are delivered as outlined.”
