People in the North West believe the high number of NCT failures is down to poor road conditions across the region.

 

More than half of vehicles tested across the North West failed their NCT during May, with 2,820 of 5,281 inspections unsuccessful. Of those, 471 were deemed dangerous.

 

Sligo saw the highest number of tests, followed by Carrick-on-Shannon and Donegal.

 

Speaking to Ocean FM News, Cllr Barry Gallagher says increased funding is needed for road maintenance to improve safety and reduce damage to vehicles.
