Transportation
SAMRA successfully lobbied to ban trucks on the Strand Rd and is monitoring developments in relation to the proposed cycle lane on the Strand Road which could cause severe congestion in the rest of the village.
Task Force
SAMRA has called for a Task Force to co-ordinate the works needs for the seafront (flood fefences, off road cycle way and sewage run prevention.) This is progressing well with full support of local counsellors.
