The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has admitted to laying junction markings across a Fermanagh resident's laneway "in error".

The markings, which were meant for a junction Ashbrooke Road in Brookeborough, were instead laid on a resident's laneway on Tuesday of this week.

They have since been removed by DfI.

A Department for Infrastructure (DfI) spokesperson said: "Junction markings were laid across a resident’s laneway on the Ashbrooke Road, Brookeborough in error but have since been removed.

DUP councillor, Paul Robinson, criticised DfI for the error, and questioned the cost of removing the markings.

"I was very surprised when the resident contacted me about this error on what is very clearly a laneway; it almost defies belief," Councillor Robinson said.

"We know that the cost of laying markings is significant, and now more cost has been incurred to remove them due to this error."
