Traffic calming issue ‘under review’

Transport NI has confirmed that it is looking again at the possibility of delivering a traffic calming scheme at Avondale Drive in Ballyclare.

The move comes in response to continuing lobbying from public representatives, including Alliance Alderman Pat McCudden and the PUP’s Scott McDowell, about the need for road safety measures in the vicinity of the children’s play park.

Divisional Roads Manager, Deidre Mackle told last Monday night’s meeting of the council’s Planning Committee that the issue is “under review” and that the department “would hope to deliver a scheme there.”
