She said this would  avoid further disruption at a later time and (would) “avail of the cost savings through shared traffic management systems.”

KCC said it will ensure that “traffic calming and drainage works are completed in a cost efficient and timely manner.”

It is proposed to implement a traffic count along Barrack Street by the end of January and “schedule a meeting to review the two schemes and finalise the next steps on the project.”
