The Brans rally support for Council

Brannockstown Community Committee is undertaking a house-to-house campaign to encourage people to support Kildare County Council's moves on the ongoing Carnalway right of way issue.

The Committee will ask people to write to the Council to show the strength of support for the recent issuing of Planning Enforcement notices to the landowner who blocked off access to a traditional amenity.

The notices were issued during the last two months, demanding that the landowner dismantle fences erected without planning permission. However, it seems that the notices have not been complied with.

The issue is also the subject of a court action by a group of local people, representing the community.

Meanwhile, the Diary understands that the community has received cross-party support in their campaign from local representatives.
