Funding programme could provide lighting at Leitrim community centre
Cllr Enda McGloin proposed a motion at April's meeting of Ballinamore Municipal District asking if street lighting could be considered in front of Ballinaglera hall.
Improved lighting outside Ballinaglera Community Hall may be on the way, following a proposal heard at Ballinamore Municipal District.
Cllr Enda McGloin proposed a motion asking if street lighting could be considered in front of Ballinaglera hall.
District engineer Darragh O’Boyle advised that CLÁR 2025 programme - an investment initiative for rural areas - includes provisions for lighting at community centres and parking areas.
Cllr McGloin’s motion also requested a survey of the R207-11 in Drumristan, Ballinaglera, where corners of the road are showing subsidence.
District engineer Darragh O’Boyle noted that they are aware of the roads condition and plan to address the issue.
He explained that the R207 has become under considerable strain due to frequent use by heavy goods vehicles.
“The District Office are aware of the recent subsidence of the R207 at Drumristan and are seeking approval to reallocate some of the Climate Action funding within the municipal district of Ballinamore,” an official response stated.
Cllr McGloin also proposed a motion requesting the Council investigate several “dangerous steep inclines” along the L3307 before Liscarbin.
His motion stated the road needs to be made safe for pedestrians and cyclists.
A response from the Roads department stated, “We will investigate additional regulatory signage to cover these issues.”
