Two speed ramps in Longford town to be redone following complaints
A meeting of Longford MD heard “the current ramps are not the standard” and would be rectified this week.
A number of complaints have been received by Longford County Council over the height of the speed ramps installed by Templemichael School in Longford town.
The issue arose during a recent meeting of the Longford Municipal District after Cllr Niall Gannon asked the Senior Executive Engineer Peter Brady if anything could be done about “the speed bump at the fire station.”
Some motorists are also reported to have sustained damage to their cars as a result of the ramp height.
Cllr Gannon told the meeting that people had contacted him “giving out about the height of it.”
In response Mr Brady agreed the ramps were “not standard” and explained that the contractor responsible had not been hired by the council.
He said, “So just in terms of the ramps at Templemichael ... look, in fairness, there have been a few complaints coming in and the project itself has been completed by the school, so it's their contractors that were appointed.”
"But we did meet the contractor there last week and the current ramps are not the standard so they're going to come back in and basically reconfigure and redo the ramps again at the two locations.”
