Sligo County Council in exercise of the powers conferred on it under Section 38 of the Road Traffic Act, 1994 and Section 46 of the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009 hereby gives notice that it has prepared a Scheme for the provision of traffic calming measures at N59 Ballisodare Village.
Public Consultation
Sligo County Council are holding a Public Consultation for this traffic calming scheme which entails a proposed pedestrian crossing on the N59 in the centre of Ballisodare Village.
