A Roscommon Councillor believes newly approved safety works at five local schools will increase student safety. St Patrick's NS, Brusna NS, Camcloon NS, Cornafulla NS and St. Ciaran's NS will be benefitting from the Safe Routes to School programme. The programme will ensure safety improvements for the schools, including pencil shaped bollards, colourful road markings, as well as enhanced footpaths and pedestrian crossings to slow down traffic.
