KCA to look at flooding problem

Kilcullen Community Action is to examine the pathway from the main road at Nicholastown to the Community Centre to see if some flooding problems can be sorted out.

At the recent meeting, J J Warren said the path was used as a short cut to the Primary School and in winter the flooding caused difficulties for those using it.

Although the path is used by many different groups, including the schoolgoers and people using the facilities of the Community Centre and the clubs based around it, there is no definite ownership of the path.

"It is something that KCA probably should do," J J said. "It can probably be fixed by making a pebble drain alongside it, which would move the water to lower ground," he said.

The meeting agreed that he should look at the situation in more detail.
