Athy Area Committee motions

Two motions relating to problems associated with the M9 are down for next Monday's meeting of the Athy Area Committee of Kildare County Council.

Cllr Martin Heydon will be asking that the Council and the National Roads Authority carry out further measures to improve the safety of the junction of the R418/R448, locally known as Thompson's Cross. His motion is against a background of continuing accidents at the junction, despite the implementation of previous measures.

Cllr Heydon wants public lighting erected at the junction as part of the improvements.

Meanwhile, Cllr Mark Wall is asking that the Council immediately bring the roads at Yellowbog up to a proper standard following the recent M9 works.
