Councillor urges standing agenda status for Aghilly and Buncrana relief roads

Donegal County Councillor Fionan Bradley has formally requested that the Aghilly Road and Buncrana Inner Relief Road projects be listed as permanent items on the Inishowen Municipal District meeting agenda.

Speaking at the recent Inishowen MD meeting in Carndonagh, Bradley said the projects should appear on the agenda at every meeting and that formal updates on their progress be provided to councillors and the public.

In June, €10 million was allocated for works on the Aghilly Road under the Housing Infrastructure Investment Fund. The Buncrana Inner Relief Road has also been identified as a main priority for the district.

Senior Executive Engineer Michael McFadden of Roads and Transportation confirmed that the tender process for the Aghilly Road is near completion and that a consultant will soon be appointed. He added that the design, dating back almost 20 years, needs fine‑tuning to meet current specifications.
