SINN Féin Councillor Patricia Logue has called on DRD Roads for the urgent repairs of two painted minor roundabouts junction of Elmwood Terrace /Westland Street and Laburnum Terrace.
Her party has been undertaking an ongoing road safety campaign in the Bogside and Brandywell for the last ten years.
Said Councillor Logue: “I am calling on DRD Road Service to immediately upgrade the road markings at the mini roundabouts at the junction of Elmwood Terrace /Westland Street and Laburnum Terrace.
“I have been contacted by local residents and motorists concerned that the markings on the roadway are badly worn away and many drivers simply don’t see the roundabouts and are driving straight through the junctions.
“You only have to stand at the junction for a few minutes to see the number of near misses.
“It’s amazing the amount of vehicles that actually travelled through it be that cars ,vans, buses and lorries.
“This is a very dangerous junction coupled with the fact that some drivers are merging onto these roundabouts in excess of the speed limit.
“I would appeal for motorists to take due care and attention whilst travelling through the area.”
