Ballina town councillor Willie Nolan has claimed that the emergency services are being adversely affected by the new traffic layout in Ballina which has caused a lot of problems in the town since it was implemented last week. “I have been informed by members of the emergency services, especially the fire service, that they are quite concerned about the new traffic layout and how it could affect them,” the Fianna Fáil town councillor told the Mayo Advertiser this week. “You have the situation where members of the fire service are at home and get a call to come to the station to collect the tender to go out on a call. At the moment they are highly likely to come into one of the major traffic backlogs that have built up in the town and it will delay them getting to the tender. Then they also could have to go back through the traffic to get to the call they are going to.”
