A council spokesperson informed the members that the naming committee had deemed the roundabout to be not major enough to warrant a name.
He said that consideration could be given to a larger piece of infrastructure.
In his response, Cllr Hagan, pointed out that he did not agree with the decision and that he would continue to raise the issue at future meetings
