Bilingual Irish and English street signs are to be installed on a Co Derry road after only one resident responded to the proposal.
The single resident responded favourably to the proposed signage at Carn View, near Gulladuff.
In all, 10 survey letters were issued by Mid Ulster District Council as part of the signage proposals, in keeping with the relevant policy on bilingual street signage requests. Nine out of the 10 residents didn’t reply.
That led to a 100% majority in favour from those who did reply.
New dual language signage will also be erected at Oakview, Dungannon, Sunnyside Road, Stewartstown, Mullaghmoyle Road, Coalisland/Stewartstown.
Meanwhile, a majority of residents at Lismore Road, Ballygawley, and Armaghlughey Road, Aughnacloy/Ballygawley, have voted against the erection of new bilingual signage.
In accordance with Mid Ulster District Council’s policy, all occupiers as listed on the electoral register residing in the above areas were canvassed by post.
In the case of the Lismore Road, 23 letters were issued. 19 letters were returned, with 11 residents indicating they were against bilingual signage, and six being in favour (35 per cent in favour).
In the case of the Armaghlughey Road, 53 letters were issued. 22 letters were returned, with 15 residents indicating they were against the erection of bilingual street signage, and six in favour (29 per cent in favour).
As a majority of residents voted against the provision of bilingual street signage in these two areas, English-only street signs will remain.
