1,000 submissions against proposed traffic lights at Oughterard bridge delivered to County Hall

Up to a thousand submissions against the proposed plan for traffic lights at Oughterard bridge have been delivered to County Hall.

The plans to construct lights at the old bridge have drawn mixed opinions from locals and councillors.
