AN INISHOWEN councillor
has called for better signposting around the
peninsula particularly to help baffled tourists who
can't find their destinations.
Cllr. Marian McDonald has called on Donegal County Council
to erect better signposts and for them to be
maintained particularly over the summer months. |
"We are depending on
tourism and yet a day never passes without a tourist
stopping to ask directions to certain places of
interest which should be signposted and are not.
Then you have the signposts that are turned in a
different direction," said Cllr. McDonald.
Donegal County Council has told the Moville-based
councillor that it is currently finalising the
installation of new signposting on all regional
roads in the county.
It is anticipated that the signage will be completed
by the end of the year. |

Meanwhile, the
authorities have said that the National Roads
Authority is currently upgrading signposting on
national routes.
Cllr. McDonald said she was disappointed to hear
from the local authority that the overall funding
for the upgrade of signposting was "quite stretched"
and that staff would have to "work within the monies
available".
"I will be keeping a very close eye on this issue
for next year," added Cllr. McDonald. |
