Ballyspillane Estate.


That this Council put extra traffic calming measures into Ballyspillane Estate.

The following is the speed of cars versus the percentage of pedestrians Killed.
45 mph                       85% fatality
30 mph                       45% and many serious injured
20 mph                5% and few seriously injured (30% no injury)

Ballyspillane is the largest estate in our town and is in constant need of review with regard to traffic calming measures. It is important to run awareness campaigns to be wary of children playing in our estates. It is also important for visitors to our estates to be mindful of hidden dangers and to respect the local community. Cllr Tom Doherty will contact the town engineer to see if any improvements can be made.
