Final road surface dressing has been confirmed by contractor Kiely, which will take place tomorrow, Wednesday 24th June, between 9.30 a.m. and 3.30 p.m. from Sandyford’s KFC roundabout to Woodstock Street at the top of Goldenhill.
This is the final chapter in the scheme, which residents and motorists will be happy to see it complete.
Councillor Kanneganti and Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association understand the inconvenience this has caused to both residents and motorists, which we have tried to keep everyone updated as much as possible through contact with the contractor.
We trust once the scheme is completed that everyone as much as possible will see the benefits of not having to avoid the many potholes that the High Street has suffered from.
As temperatures rise, please take a few simple steps to stay safe and well during the warm weather:
Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid too much alcohol or caffeine, as they can dehydrate you.
Keep Cool Indoors – Close blinds or curtains during peak sunlight hours. Open windows when it’s cooler outside (early morning/evening) to let fresh air circulate.
Limit Sun Exposure – Try to stay out of direct sunlight between 11am–3pm when UV levels are highest. If you must go out, wear sunscreen, a hat, and light, loose clothing.
Check on Vulnerable Residents – Older adults, young children, and those with health conditions may be more at risk. Please check in on neighbours, friends, and family regularly.
Vehicle Safety – Never leave children, pets, or vulnerable individuals alone in parked vehicles—even for a short time.
Pet Care – Ensure pets have access to shade and fresh water. Avoid walking dogs during the hottest part of the day—pavements can burn their paws.
Know the Signs of Heat Illness – Look out for symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, nausea, or confusion. Seek medical help if needed.
Fire Risk – Dry conditions increase fire risk. Dispose of cigarettes safely and avoid open flames or BBQs in unsafe areas.
Stay safe, look after each other, and enjoy the sunshine responsibly.
Final road surface dressing will take place next Tuesday 23rd June for two days between 9.30 a.m. and 3.30 p.m. from Sandyford’s KFC roundabout to Woodstock Street at the top of Goldenhill, weather permitting.
This is the final chapter in the scheme to which both residents and motorists will be happy to see it complete.
Councillor Kanneganti and Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association have received a number of complaints regarding potholes in the area for quite a while, and once the road resurfacing is complete, we are hopeful drivers using the A50 throughout the area can appreciate a much improved driving experience.
