He says he understands that salting routes are tight when it comes to money and resources, but added that the route can become very dangerous in icy conditions.

Another route that he believes is the L2010, it is not a regional road but it does carry a school bus and can effectively act as a main road.

Speaking to Northern Sound Cllr Conaty explained the danger he see with the L1503.
