Sacred Heart Church Roundabout

    Last weeks Munster had a small piece on this roundabout (by the Golden Fry at the end of the Folly) and the problems with the increased traffic. About time the issue was raised. Only a few years ago a car crashed into the launderette beside the chipper in the middle of the day. Just by pure chance no one was injured.

    Every day I'm down that way I see lorry's & heavy goods vehicals mounting the footpath to go up towards Johns Park, most can barely navigate their way round the odd shaped roundabout with 2 lanes on 1 side and only 1 on the other.

    The opening of the outer ring road was to take away a lot of the traffic from the area but its only made it worse with more trucks & lorrys now than before. That area is full of school kids & elderly and another accident must be only a matter of time away.

    I don't think articulated lorries should be allowed turn left at the end of the folly. They should be required to continue on to the traffic lights and turn left. Although in saying that that would take them past the schools which I'm guessing they (the schools) wouldn't be too happy about!

    That was a plan at one stage, to make it all one way, but there's no way they could allow lorry's passed the school, its bad enough as it is.

    I was told only last week the corporation know all about the problems and issues with the roundabout. They are fully aware that the trucks have to mount the footpath but obviously until there's a serious accident nothing will be done. As usual.
