Weekly safety checks on playground

The new Community Playground is checked weekly for safety by designated members of Kilcullen Community Action, writes Brian Byrne.

At the recent KCA meeting, JJ Warren confirmed that a 20-point checklist is used to make sure everything is covered.

"The completed list is then sent by email each week to Kildare County Council," he said.

The matter had arisen in a general discussion about the playground, which is monitored by KCA members on a rota basis.

The meeting heard that there remains some confusion about the remuneration from the Council for KCA's work, which was originally expected to be €5,200 but the current figure in correspondence seems to be less than half of that.

There was also discussion on closing times, which will be earlier from now on as the evenings darken.

Meanwhile, the official Kildare County Council opening of the facility will take place on September 14 at 7pm. It will be performed by the Mayor of Kildare.
