“Complete disgrace” – people react in Aughnacloypublished at 17:03 British Summer Time 23 June<\/p>\n

BBC News NI’s Chloe Gibson has been speaking to people on the streets of Aughnacloy, County Tyrone, which the A5 runs through just before it crosses the Irish border.<\/p>\n

Aidan (pictured above), from Sixmilecross who lost his cousin on the A5, says the ruling “was a complete disgrace”.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think much of the people that are trying to put it off, it’s just unreal,” he says.<\/p>\n

“They should just reverse the decision and build this road now.”<\/p>\n

Fred, from Aughnacloy, says he uses the A5 quite often and that the decision is only going to cost more money.<\/p>\n

“The longer this goes on the more its going to cost, and people are going to have to pay more for it.”<\/p>\n

He adds: “The road itself doesn’t seem to be adequate for the amount of traffic.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to see it go ahead, we need to gather more support to get the job done.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Complete disgrace” – people react in Aughnacloypublished at 17:03 British Summer Time 23 June 17:03 BST 23 June…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5011],"tags":[1144,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-209110","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-northern-ireland","8":"tag-northern-ireland","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114735738288562498","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
