A new 40mph speed limit could be introduced on a stretch of the Tempo Road, under proposals sent to Fermanagh and Omagh councillors by the Department for Infrastructure.

DfI Roads has written to council chief executive Alison McCullagh outlining plans to impose a 40mph limit on part of Tempo Road on the approach to the village.

The department says the PSNI has already been consulted on the move and has asked that the proposal be drawn to councillors’ attention as part of the formal process for changing speed limits.

Elected members will now be able to comment on the plan and highlight any issues raised by local residents and road users before a final decision is taken on whether the lower limit goes ahead.
