I am a resident of Ballyfermot, and our iconic roundabout has been a part of our community for generations. It's more than just a traffic feature; it's a symbol of our identity. The council plans to remove this landmark to make way for an intersection and bus lanes, turning Ballyfermot main road into a one-way system. This change not only disrupts the character of our area but also involves taking private property away from people.

The proposed changes are being presented as improvements, but they will primarily benefit those outside Ballyfermot at the expense of local residents. We fear that an intersection would worsen traffic conditions in our area rather than improve them.

Moreover, such drastic alterations could potentially affect local businesses that rely on the current flow of traffic around the roundabout. The council needs to consider these impacts before making any final decisions.

We urge everyone who cares about preserving local landmarks and protecting private property rights to join us in opposing this plan. Let's stand together for Ballyfermot! Please sign this petition to show your support for keeping our roundabout intact.
