Independent candidate Adrian McMyler pledges action on pedestrian safety 

Independent candidate in the Buncrana local electoral area Adrian McMyler has declared his commitment to pedestrian safety.

The Buncrana man, who is contesting the local elections for the first time, has particularly stressed the urgent need for a footpath along the town’s Hillhead Road.

He said he is taking a proactive stance on addressing what he says is a lack of pedestrian infrastructure in the area.

"In my conversations with local residents and my observations of the local landscape, it has become abundantly clear that the absence of a footpath along Hillhead Road poses a significant threat to the safety of pedestrians, including children and families,” he said.
