Frenchpark, Co.Roscommon

@BealachanDoirin Hi Shane, Could you point out the negative in what we have posted? Do you not think there are issues that affect local people’s day to day life that need to be addressed in any public project? large scale protests in the town could have been avoided if these were addressed??

@BealachanDoirin Where will the proposed parking be? Drawing looks lovely of course but every rural town needs to be practical or else business will suffer. Those trees look lovely but they take a long time to grow?? What are the feeling of the new low shrubbery areas all around the town?

Proposed plan for Ballaghaderreen Square.

@shannonsidenews (Pt.3) that could have a positive effect on our community. The people of Frenchpark feel this is being ‘rammed down our throats’ and the real areas we feel that need investment are not being heard….but then again, how could they be heard when nobody asked?? @roscommoncoco

Public Realm works are currently being carried out in towns like Ballaghaderreen and Strokestown: shannonside.ie/news/council-c…

@shannonsidenews our village’s ability to survive. Mr.Tiernan is correct, our towns need investment but what’s proposed for Frenchpark is not even in the top 10 of arras that need investment in our village. This will amount to a huge waste of €5M when there are serious issues that need attention

@shannonsidenews Where will the parking be in Frenchpark once the ‘Active Travel Plan’ is implemented? Mr.Tiernan said parking doesn’t save towns but businesses & services do, which require parking. Cycle lanes going nowhere,one way streets & removal of parking will have a huge negative effect on

Huge opposition yesterday at the unveiling of @roscommoncoco proposed plans for Frenchpark village. One way systems, cycle lanes and 50% reduction in already scarce parking. A @BealachanDoirin style protest to come? What’s your thoughts?

The 89-year-old, who died in a road tragedy in Frenchpark on Thursday, was laid to rest earlier today. roscommonherald.ie/news/kitty-lav…

@CarlowWeather Snow here in west Roscommon. Not sticking though

We also have first report of snow now in Roscommon

Report of trees down in Kerry already and this is before we see the real strong winds. I’ll update this thread for a while tonight and please posts updates from your are in the comments.

@shannonsidenews Real frustration & anger in Ballaghaderreen @BealachanDoirin with the ongoing ‘enhancements’ which local business’s feel will lead to further closures. Big meeting planned in the town to halt work.

Roscommon Cllr says public realm enhancement of Strokestown will prove popular shannonside.ie/news/roscommon…

@CarlowWeather Just a light dusting of snow here in west Roscommon, car not frozen

More heavy rain and snow pushing up this morning with temperatures of 0c to 3c and many waking to snow but still rain for parts. Rain will turn to snow for parts of South and East this afternoon and evening as low system pulls away and then the freeze sets in.

@ClaireKerrane Very, very proud of our lovely neighbour. Well done for all that has been achieved. Something special for all our girls to look up to 😇

Of course, Aoife let nobody down. She is a fantastic athlete and role model. The only disappointment felt is that for her and all she’s given for this competition. She deserved to progress. #OlympicGames #Paris2024

15-20 minute delays from all sides coming into Frenchpark this morning due to ongoing works. Please approach with caution & patience 🙏🙏

These corner pieces in our village, layed in concrete just a short time ago, which served no purpose at all and an eyesore, now being dug up to make way for traffic lights, which will be dug up and removed in 2 years time when the new bypass opens🤷‍♂️ What a waste of our money

@shannonsidenews A lot of locals wondering what will happen these lights when the bypass is complete? Work is well underway. Will they be removed?

Works on dangerous Roscommon junction to start next week shannonside.ie/news/works-on-…

@gaelspro @RoscommonGAA Well done lads 👏👏

Well done lads. Junior A again for 2024. ⁦@gaelspro⁩ ⁦@RoscommonGAA⁩ #rosgaa

Thanks for sharing 🙏

@shannonsidenews Very sad. May he RIP. it’s only a matter of time before we have something similar here in Frenchpark. The speed at which traffic comes through our little village is frightening. It’s surly time for some form of traffic calming before we have a similar incident @roscommoncoco
