DEFERRED MOTIONS

  1. To consider the following joint motion as submitted by Councillors M. Clarke and J. Queenan:
    “To call on Sligo County Council to start the process of taking in charge one kilometre of road at Bunnina Dromard there are 9 residential houses and 5 farmers on this road. and road at one kilometre from Ballinphull to Lugdoon Templeboy, this a strategic road of importance to the Council, on the occasion of the main N59 been blocked this a diversion route.”
  2. To consider the following joint motion as submitted by Councillors M. Clarke and J. Queenan:
    “That Sligo County Council provides traffic calming at Kilglass as requested by Kilglass Community Council.  We would like to officially request that the speed limit is reduced through the village from before the National School until after the Church, a distance of 500-600 meters.  There are currently 120 children attending the school with high volumes of traffic in the morning and afternoon.  The school is located very close to the road and the 80km speed limit is a daily hazard to both children, parents, and road users.  We are about to start development on a new Digital Hub and Community Centre beside the church which again will increase traffic levels. 

    Ideally, we would prefer a 50km speed limit as is the case in other villages, however, as we are not zoned as a village I understand this may not be possible.  In which case a 60km speed limit would be preferable.”

    “To call on TII to address the safety issues on the N4 roundabout at Castlebaldwin.”
  2. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillors Mulvey, Connolly and Taylor:
    “We call on Sligo County Council to write to AIB bank Tubbercurry to seek a ramp be put in place outside the main entrance of the bank building to assist elderly customers and people with Mobility issues as the concrete steps in place at present outside the bank are causing a difficulty.”
  3. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillor D. Mulvey:
    “I call on Sligo County Council to contact the TII with the request to have an effective form of traffic calming such as a speed ramp installed in Bunninadden village which is on a main regional road R296 from Ballymote to Tubbercurrry in the interest of safety. There is a National school, a Community centre and Church all located close to the centre of the village. These buildings are regularly occupied, and local community groups feel the speed is too fast coming into and exiting the village and are fearful of an accident.”
