Telegraph pole "accident waiting
to happen"
13.03.14
A FIANNA Fáil local
election candidate is pushing for the relocation of
a telegraph pole considered a serious hazard to road
users in Moville.
Mary McCauley says the Eircom pole outside the Mill
Glen housing estate is “an accident waiting to
happen." |
She and her party
colleague Deputy Charlie McConalogue have been in
contact with Eircom and Donegal County Council to
raise the concerns of the local people.
“The pole is far too close to the road and the road
is already quite narrow. Furthermore, the route has
become much busier than it once was," said Ms
McCauley.
“There are various housing estates along this road
and it is commonly used by local people to travel to
Carndonagh.
“Having been in contact with Eircom in relation to
these safety concerns, they have confirmed that they
are willing to have the pole moved to a safer
location. |

The telegraph pole at Mill Glen
housing estate in Moville that locals say is serious
hazard to road users. |
“However, to do this
they must get permission from Donegal County
Council. I would urge the council to grant this as
soon as possible. The current position of the pole
is a clear hazard and is an accident waiting to
happen.
"As we all know, it only takes a simply mistake for
an accident to happen on our roads. Therefore the
council must do their best to ensure that these
unnecessary hazards do not exist," she added. |
