New pedestrian crossing in the works for Carraroe

It's been confirmed that a pedestrian crossing will be installed in a problematic area of Sligo town.

Carraroe is home to a large population, with concern crossing the road is next to impossible at times.

There is an Active Travel Scheme under concept design currently that will include a pedestrian crossing at the Ballygawley/Carraroe junction.

Fine Gael Councillor Thomas Walsh says it's important that the council continue to pursue the matter in the interest of health and safety for local residents.
