Hilltown child safety signs introduced
Sinn Féin South Down MLA Caitríona Ruane has welcomed the introduction of new rapid flashing speeding beacons outside St. Patrick’s Primary School in Hilltown.
Speaking to Newry Times, Ruane said, “This is a very busy road and the safety of children, their parents and teachers is a priority.
“The beacons are an important visual reminder to drivers that they are approaching a primary school. Along with my colleagues in Sinn Féin I have been campaigning for various road safety measures in Hilltown for a long time and it is very gratifying to see this work now bearing fruit.
“For instance, I am delighted that footpath improvements in the main street have already been completed and that, following my request,the installation of a 30mph roundel on the main Rostrevor to Hilltown Road has been ordered by Transport NI,” she added.
