A meeting will be held tonight at 6:30pm in Clonmellon National School.
A petition advocating for government funding to fix a "death trap" junction near a school in Westmeath has reached over 300 signatures.
The junction on the way into Clonmellon meets with pedestrian crossings on the Kilskyre and Kilallon roads.
A meeting will be held tonight at 6:30pm in Clonmellon National School to present the petition and a letter to local councilors Niall Gaffney and David Jones.
Representatives from the school's Parents Association and the Active Retirement Group will also attend.
Elaine O'Flanagan is one of the residents who started the petition - and says these junctions are an obvious problem:
