One-way system

SIR, — On two occasions over the past year, my mother who lives at Edward Street in Downpatrick has had her car damaged when parked outside her home.

While visiting my mother last week, my new car received a large scrape by the driver of another vehicle who failed to stop. The congestion in Edward Street is horrendous for every resident or parent having to leave children off at the primary school at this part of the town.

The need for a one-way system was highlighted in the Down Recorder a year ago and action is needed now to ensure one is provided. Why should residents continuously have to have cars parked outside their homes repaired?

Yours etc,

ANGRY,
