Councillor Lockhart said she has been lobbying the Road Service on this matter and said she will continue to do so.

Speaking following this decision Alderman Lockhart said: “In recent months I have received a strong lobby from residents living on the Dromore Road.

Residents are concerned that this road is a main arterial route into Banbridge and as such sees a high volume of fast moving traffic.

“New developments such as the new Clanmil Housing site will further add to the traffic on this already busy road and I feel it is essential to continue the lobby to extend the 30mph zone so as to slow traffic.

“I have asked for a review of this decision and will await with interest the outcome.”
