The closure of one side of The Square in Ballaghderreen is a line in the sand for local protestors.
The Ballaghaderreen Public Realm works continue to be a source of contention among locals and business owners with numerous protests having taken place in recent weeks.
Locals are unhappy with the removal of on street car parking spaces along with the plans for the traffic around the town square.
Roscommon County Council is offering to keep eight car parking spaces in Ballaghaderreen town centre - in an effort to solve the issue.

The council also says it will develop a 50-space car park in the Plots, 60 metres from the town centre.
