NCT centre to open in January
22.12.09
INISHOWEN is to get its
own NCT centre with the opening of a new facility in
Carndonagh on Tuesday, January 12, it has emerged.
The new centre will be located at Liss, Carndonagh
and will dramatically cut the travel time for people
in the peninsula whose cars are due for the NCT.
Work is now ongoing to have the site completed in
the second week of the new year.
"This development is more than merited by the
geographical considerations particular to Inishowen
and County Donegal and by the fact that Inishowen
has 25% of the county’s motorists," said Cllr
Charlie McConalogue. |

"It was a lot to ask
for motorists to travel from as far as Malin to
Letterkenny, and in many cases twice, in the case of
a recheck, in order to obtain their NCT.
"The large backlog that developed over last summer
made the situation particularly pressing and this
new centre in the peninsula will hopefully prevent
long waiting lists in the county from now on."
The county's Deputy Mayor said Carndonagh was a
central |
location for the
peninsula's NCT centre.
"We must however ensure that traffic to and from the
centre is managed so as to ensure that cars use the
signed routes and prevent unnecessary traffic on
minor local roads in the area. "I will work with the
NCT centre and the County Council to ensure that
signage to and from the centre clearly directs that
the appropriate routes are used,” he added. |
