Playground to go to planning

A planning application for the Community Playground is to be lodged soon with Kildare County Council.

JJ Warren told the recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Development that any remaining issues over the project could be 'decided in the planning process'.

He said that concerns raised by the clubs and other organisations around the site of the playground 'are being taken on board' in the application.

He added that there were still issues about ownership of the road through which the new entrance to the Community Centre and the playground will be established. An insurance concern from the developer of the estate which the road accesses was also mentioned.

"We've decided to have it all decided by the planners, otherwise we'll miss a window to move the project on," JJ added.
