Concerns have been raised about ongoing safety on a stretch of the N61 between Tulsk and Clashaganny, which had been approved for a safety improvement scheme, but has been stalled due to a High Court judicial review. Independent councillor Tony Ward raised the concerns after a recent accident where a wall along this route was hit by a large vehicle, spreading debris on the road. “The debris on the road could have led to further accidents and I am very concerned about the ongoing safety risks to drivers on this road,” said Cllr Waldron. The proposed N61 Tulsk to Clashaganny Road road scheme, involving the upgrade of a seriously deficient section of the national road network, was approved by councillors in February. The works were aimed at enhancing the safety of road users and improving local and regional connectivity.
