Going Potty!

We know it’s not the only one in the country but we had hoped this would have been repaired by now, given it was reported months ago.

Anyone heading to Bright from the Minerstown direction really should try to miss this pothole, along with the several others on that stretch of road.

It’s just below Bright Church at the junction with the Lisoid Road, hopefully it’ll get sorted soon 🫣

Wee reminder - Gerry Flanagan is joining us on Saturday Night 🎸
