"This Committee is very concerned at the lack of progress in relation to issues that have been raised at this Committee over a long period of time, in particular: the Uturn continues to be a real hazard at the junction of the R148 and Kennelsfort Road Upper, the continuous white line is not effective, there is a real need to provide warning signs in addition to road markings; the raised platform at the pedestrian crossing has not been installed; the light sequence needs to be adjusted to give even 10 sec more to Upper Kennelsfort Road; the location for the bus stop on Kennelsfort Road Upper and the parking area to the rear need to be reviewed to make it safer for vehicles to enter and exit.
