Clongour Road, Thurles is temporarily closed due to vehicle collision
The Clongour Road here in Thurles has been temporarily closed this evening, close to the junction near Glasheen’s Public house.
It is understood that a vehicle has collided with an ESB poll. Traffic delays can be expected, as well as possible disruption to some ESB services in the area.
ESB, Gardaí and a ‘Vehicle Recovery’ truck are currently at the scene. Vehicles wishing to access the Yellow Lough / Holycross Road can turn immediately left at the Dunnes Stores roundabout, before continuing left to Holycross.
We are not aware, at this time, of any injuries that may have been incurred by any occupants of the vehicle involved.
Two units of Thurles Fire Brigade are currently attending to what appears to be a serious fire on Kickham Street, Dublin Road, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
The fire appears to be on the ground floor to the front of an apartment block, known as An Grianán, on the south west side of Barrett’s Public house.
Traffic has been reduced to one lane by Gardaí and motorists are being requested to access the Dublin Road via Mitchel Street and Borroway, to avoid unnecessary traffic delays.
Thankfully no person appears to have been injured.
Attention all you Thurles Social Warriors, Thurles Lobbyists, Thurles Community Facebook Activists; failed, power hungry, would-be, Thurles Local Councillors and Sleepy, Powerless, Crusading Tipperary County Councillors, who once again have managed to fool the local electorate.
Please find a new task requiring your active lobbying; same shown above to be shared on Facebook. [Pictures make it easier for those lobbyists unable to read.]
The above are called drains; their purpose, to remove excess water from road surfaces. Unfortunately every 5 years or so, they require cleaning, a process quite difficult when no council workers are being employed. [Check Golf Club and Nenagh roads entering the town.]
However, I think all would agree that come winter, especially when leaves begin to fall, expect severe flooding and ice patches, if this neglect is allowed to continue.
Oh, and when you are finished with solving the former problem do what you do best, go “Calling” for action on this other problem shown immediately above, before a pedestrian falls over them on the pavement in the dark.
