Cllr Stephen Stokes, Cathaoirleach of the Greystones Municipal District has welcomed plans for mini-roundabouts and pedestrian crossings in Delgany Wood.

Cllr Stokes stated: “Road safety is a vital issue in Delgany and across the municipal district. Delgany Wood experiences a high level of traffic between Delgany Wood Avenue and Killincarrig, so it is important to listen to residents and act decisively. Hopefully these measures will have a positive impact.”

The councillor outlined that the current roundabouts are to be upgraded from dots on the road to more effective mini roundabouts.

Additionally a number of kerbs are to be adjusted to allow for easier pedestrian crossings. However these are not expected to have formal lights systems.

Cllr Stokes added: “I would like to commend the District Engineer for this plan. He has been applying for this funding for several years. In total €140,000 has been approved to carry out the work.”

It was also noted that some of the current roundabouts in Delgany Wood are in poor condition. Cllr Stokes thanked Wicklow County Council for repairing a roundabout recently, concluding, “The existing roundabouts in Delgany Wood are deteriorating. Because they are like giant dots, many vehicles drive right over them. The result is that they become damaged.

“I am thankful to the council staff for the temporary repair work following my request. I will continue to pursue improvements across the Greystones Municipal District.”
