Councillor Fitzpatrick said, “I would like to see speed restrictions implemented at the junction at the Saval Complex and the Coalpit Road in Newry.

“Local residents have told me they are concerned that so many of the cars who are travelling along the road are doing so at such a high speed.

“The entrance to Saval GAA club is on this road and there are concerns that someone who is entering or exiting the club could get hurt by the high speed of cars along the road.

She added, “I have contacted the PSNI and Transport NI. The PSNI have indicated that they will undertake speed checks. I hope that Transport NI will make an assessment and that speed restrictions will be implemented.”
