SDLP Moyola Councillor Denise Johnston has announced the purchase of two permanent Speed Indicator Devices [SIDs] for Draperstown. The purchase of the SIDs has been funded by the Workspace Group and Heron Brothers and they will be adopted by the Mid Ulster Police and Community Safety Partnership [PCSP].
Councillor Johnston said, “I am delighted to announce that I have secured funding for two permanent Speed Indicator Devices for Draperstown. “I wish to thank both the Workspace Group and Heron Brothers for their very generous donations which have allowed me to order the devices for Draperstown. These will be managed by the PCSP who will move them around
the town at regular intervals.
“I had been approached by several residents who were concerned about speeding in the area and, working together, we looked for a way to address the problem.
“While the SIDs won’t completely prevent drivers from speeding, they have proven effective in reducing the number of speeding incidents.
“The SDLP are committed to making our roads safer and I hope that in the weeks ahead there is a noticeable difference in the town.
“We will continue to lobby for further investment in road safety across our rural road network.”
