At the October meeting of Carrick on Shannon Municipal District I will ask the South Leitrim Area Engineer to carry out immediate repairs at the junction of the Keshcarrigan road (L3051-1 towards Tooman (L3452-0).

REF: CMD14/45 Public Lighting 06/10/14
At the October meeting of Carrick on Shannon Municipal District I will ask the South Leitrim Area Engineer to investigate the possibility of erecting appropriate public lighting on the link road/route from the Summerhill housing estate towards the Glen Carrig estate and Aura Leisure centre. This is an important link route and should be adequately illuminated for safe passage and to discourage anti-social behaviour.”
Report by Director of Service, Planning, Community and Economic Development;
“It is this council’s policy not to erect new public lighting due to the current financial situation. However the public lighting at this location will be examined by our electrical contractor who will advise of the need or otherwise for additional lighting. We will only provide any extra public lighting if suitable funding can be sourced.”
In responding to the reply Councillor Sinead Guckian welcomed the reply and informed the meeting that a number of break-ins had happened in this area, she also stated that from her inspections the Council had already completed the ducting installation works for the provision of lighting and that there had been a previous agreement to install the actually light, when the route was created.
