Council urged to repair surface of public cul-de-sac roads in rural area of Tipperary
Cllr Mark Fitzgerald issued the appeal at the monthly meeting of Carrick-on-Suir Municipal District's councillor
Carrick-on-Suir Municipal District Leas-Cathaoirleach Cllr Mark Fitzgerald called on the Council’s Roads Section to send out its road patching unit to fill in potholes and uneven surfaces that are making travelling difficult along an estimated seven cul-de-sacs he has been made aware of by constituents.
He issued the appeal at the April meeting of Carrick-on-Suir Municipal District in Carrick-on-Suir Town Hall where he pointed out that several farm households live along some of these roads and there are vehicles constantly travelling on them.
The Fine Gael councillor reported that the owner of an historic B&B situated along a cul-de-sac was starting to get bad reviews for his business because of the bad condition of the road people have to travel along to get to his guest accommodation.
Council’s response
Kieran Malone of Tipperary County Council’s Roads Section said the Council would get the patching unit to do work in a few of these locations.
Getting this surface dressing work carried out was dependent on the weather but the Council would do it as soon as possible, the senior executive engineer added.
