Seffin Traffic Lights - Lies, Lies and More Lies
Posted: October 22nd, 2008
On July 18th we reported that Birr Town Council were told, on Monday July 14th, by Town Engineer William Ryan that progress is being made on providing traffic lights at Seffin.
‘We are in the process of employing a contractor from England to design the lights. All that is outstanding on this matter is a contract to erect the lights.” said William Ryan.
In The Midland Tribune of today, October 22nd, it is reported that
“A resolution to the traffic issues in Seffin is still awaited, Birr Town Council heard at its monthly meeting. According to the Town Engineer, Willie Ryan, the plans are not yet complete and no funding as of yet has been made available. In short, he stated he could not not confirm any progress in this matter. The news disappointed Council members who again underpinned their determination to see this matter resolved”.
At the beginning of 2008 The Council assured everyone that this matter would be resolved by the end of 2008, this year has seen a large amount of roadworks on the Roscrea road to benefit the laying of broadband cables, the development of a large Tesco store on the same road - but traffic lights less than 500 metres from the Tesco store - there isn’t even a pedestrian crossing anywhere near the Tesco store - no chance !!
Well, guess they’ll still be looking for your votes for re-election in May 2009 - you’ll have your chance !!
