At the latest monthly meeting of the local authority, Cllr Declan O’Loan formally proposed, seconded by Cllr Beth Adger, that Council should write to the Minister requesting a review of the dual carriageway stretching from the Seven Towers roundabout to Dunsilly Roundabout which had recently been the scene of a fatal collision.

Mr O’Loan had initially raised the matter at a committee meeting when he said a deep engineering analysis of the route, including an accident history examination, needed to be carried out.
