"Further to my question raised in April 2015 and while acknowledging the councils commitment to include this location for future safety crossing measures can the CEO install road markings at this location immediately as the footfall of school children crossing this section is extremely high and the location is extremely dangerous. This interim measure would help to alleviate the dangerous situation while we wait on a pedestrian crossing. Up to 50% of the school population travels from the Grange Manor/Old Forge/Griffeen/ Johnsbridge/Tully Hall/Rosberry and more."
