Drivers are being called on to slow down in two of Derry’s largest housing developments.
The call comes from Sinn Fein Cllr Colly Keklly who says residents in Grangemore and Ardgrange Parks are concerned at the speed of vehicles being driven thr0ugh their streets.
Cllr Kelly said: “These are two very large developments with several hundred homes, so it always very busy with traffic anytime of the day or night.
“I would urge motorists to slow down whilst travelling through the area and to adhere to the speed limits in place.”
Pointing out the Grangemore and Ardgrange areas had “grown considerably” in recent years, Cllr Kelly said residents with young families had expressed their concerns to him over speeding cars in the area.
He concluded: “If people are driving at a sensible speed there is far more chance of the driver stopping in time than if they are driving at speed. Speed is one of the biggest contributing factors to road deaths in Ireland.”
