Bourke wants new school lights installed before new school year

Cllr Noel Bourke said that he has asked Offaly County Council to put the flashing amber safety lights in place in School Lane and Monasteroris National School in Edenderry and at Daingean National School before the new school year commences in September. 'I have been seeking these lights for the schools concerned for some time and in order to minimise safety risks at the schools, I want to have the lights in place at the earliest opportunity,' said Cllr Bourke who went on to say that he also wants to see the pedestrian crossing put in place on the Main Street in Daingean before the start of the new school year. Cllr Bourke said that all of these works have been provided for in this year"s Roads Programme.
