Council has made great progress on the project to improve safety for people crossing the road at the Parton Road and Tara Road roundabout. We expect to be finished in late January, in time for the start of schools, but in the meantime urge people to take extra care in the area.
With traffic lights not yet operational, people crossing should give way to vehicles, and digital signs will remind motorists to drive with care.
We also ask people to be courteous when using the sections of shared paths at the roundabout. Additional line marking and signage to remind people to ‘share with care’ is yet to be installed.
We are looking forward to delivering the completed safety improvements in the new year and will provide an update on timings early 2024.
We appreciate your continued patience with this work.
