Mr McKay said
“Last April I flagged up the problem of excess water gathering close to the junction of the Woodtown Road / Bog Road with Roads Service and the fact that cars had previously aquaplaned into the yards and houses of local residents.
“To date this issue has not been resolved and as a result we had a near tragedy when a number of vehicles again aquaplaned into a family home here at the end of December.
“Those living here have been shaken up by what has happened and talk about the possibility of cars crashing into their home again in terms of ‘when’ not ‘if’. Statutory agencies need to intervene here immediately to deal with this.”
Braid Sinn Féin Representative Paul Maguire continued:
“It is quite clear that someone will be killed if this problem isn’t seen to. The drainage needs to be addressed, street lighting should be introduced on this stretch of road as well as appropriate signage.
“We have made arrangements to meet with Roads Service this week to discuss this problem, I hope that meeting will be constructive and will result in a positive outcome.”
