Ghost estate roundabout ‘redundant’

ACTION has been demanded over traffic lights and a roundabout leading to a ‘ghost estate’ on the N69 which runs along the Shannon Estuary from Limerick.

Cllr Richard Butler said yesterday the traffic lights and the roundabout at Clarina are causing unnecessary traffic hold-ups on a key regional roadway.

Mr Butler said: “The lights were put in place when it was envisaged that a major housing development would be built on a green field site at Clarina. However, the estate has not been finished. As well as that, a roundabout was built a few hundred yards from the traffic lights, and this adds to traffic problems.”
