'˜Safety measures needed at junction'
Commenting Mrs Dobson said: “Following a number of serious accidents, including a three-car collision back in 2011, I successfully lobbied for safety measures to be installed at the approach to this junction.
“Last August the main Banbridge Road was resurfaced, however I have been contacted by local residents who have expressed concerns that the road safety surface which was removed during the resurfacing, has not been replaced.

“This is a junction at which there have been a number of accidents and it is vital that it is assessed and measures installed to reduce the risks to motorists and pedestrians.”
