Council slammed for non-provision of lollipop warden in Castleisland

Council Criticized for Lack of Lollipop Warden in Castleisland

Independent Councillor Charlie Farrelly proposed a motion for a school traffic warden on College Road, Castleisland, during school hours.

The area, with three schools, becomes congested and hazardous for pedestrians, according to Cllr Farrelly.

Earlier this year, the council's road safety officer visited the site, observing its busy conditions and associated dangers.

The council responded, stating no current budget allocation for a school warden on College Road.
A feasibility study will be conducted to assess the need for a warden, considering it for the next budget.

Cllr Farrelly deemed the response unacceptable, given the road safety officer's firsthand experience with the issues.

Author's summary: Council rejects request for school traffic warden.
