If there are changes proposed to roads near you, and you think the changes could be better, it’s always worth making a submission. Sometimes it feels like you’re shouting in the wind, but when your suggestions are taken on board it can be very satisfying.

Email I sent to the roads department of Clare County Council: Subject: Proposed Section 38 traffic calming measures at Tulla Hello, The notice on the website didn't say that submissions were welcome on this proposed scheme in Tulla, I hope it's ok to offer the following observations: I'd like to welcome the proposed crossings and widened paths - it's great to see efforts to improve the walking environment around the school. I have one suggestion and that is that both crossings should be raised to slow down cars on this stretch of road. Thanks,
Email from Clare County Council roads department: Dear Mr. Bibby, Thank you for taking the time to make an observation in respect of the proposed traffic calming measures. We confirm that, on foot of submissions received and as part of the Detailed Design process, the pedestrian crossings will be raised to further assist with traffic calming. If you have any further queries on this project, please feel free to contact the Killaloe MD office at: Email: killaloemunicipaldistrict@clarecoco.ie Tel.: 061 640815 Regards,
