Hundreds of motorists are speeding on a stretch of road which passes a school and community centre every hour putting people’s lives in danger.
As many as 242 motorists speed through Lordship on average every hour with only a quarter of drivers adhering to the speed limit, shocking statistics have revealed.
The research on the speed of vehicles on the road through Lordship was carried out following the death of popular local man Paul Sheelan who was tragically killed in a car crash in the area recently.
Local councillor Andrea McKevitt has called on Louth County Council to put measures in place to slow down traffic and prevent another family suffering the heart-breaking loss of a loved-one on the road.
