Augher stands alone in Tyrone with no Covid cases Posted: 7:17 pm January 7, 2021
By Alan Rodgers
A LOCAL village has recorded the lowest rate of positive coronavirus cases for the second consecutive week.
Statistics released by the Department for Health for the period from December 28 until January 3 show that Augher has the enviable record of having no positive cases of Covid-19.
Of the 34 people from the area who went for a test during that seven- day period, none came back positive.
The low rate of infection in the Clogher Valley is also reflected in the BT76 postcode area of Clogher.
Plans submitted to create an overflow car park for Marks and Spencer in Ulverston have been recommended for approval by the town council. These plans put forward by Mr Scott of Rawdon Land Projects Ltd would see 37 extra parking spaces at Beehive Business Park, which has been busy in the run up to Christmas. Readers of The Mail have had their say on the proposed extension on social media. Darren John McSweeney said: “Outrageous. People should be walking there.” Mags Barker said: “I think it is a good idea, we re always looking for a space, the car park is small for the size of store, it is a busy shop as it sells nice food.”
Here is what they had to say: Karen Harris said: Why a roundabout? Why not remove the traffic lights at the tank square roundabout and put them at Cross-a-Moor. The congestion is because there are too many traffic lights close together when you hit Ulverston especially since they added the ones near the Swan Inn. Do you really need four sets of lights and a roundabout over such a short distance? There is pedestrian crossing on coro lights and at the swan. The only ones that would move are on the roundabout lights. Duke Street roundabout in Barrow has zebra crossing so this could be an option instead of lights.
