More signs needed for Brideswell

Local councillor Tony Ward has pointed to the need for more directional signs for the South Roscommon village of Brideswell. He said people who were not familiar with the area had diffiuclty locating facilities in Brideswell. At the Athlone Area meeting, Cllr Ward sought directional signs for Brideswell at the following locations: Roscommon town; Athleague, Scrine, Rahara, Curraghboy, Four Roads, Kiltoom and the new road at Monksland. The council said a programme of directional signposting at junctions along Roscommon's regional road network had been carried out and no further signage for Brideswell would be provided. However, the council's Area Engineer and Director of Services agreed to look into the matter and investigate whether alternative funding could be found for the signage. Cllr Ward said he intended to keep raising the issue until the signage for Brideswell is put in place.
