Welcoming the new speed limit, Alderman McCrum said: “This is a step in the right direction for the community in Moneyslane. It has a growing population and with the school in such close proximity it is right and proper that we put the safety of schoolchildren as our top priority.

“I want to thank TransportNI for their listening ear and for actioning this. I do hope that passing traffic takes note of the new limit, particularly around school start and finish times, and I will be encouraging the PSNI to have a presence in the area and ensure the safety of the children.”
