KCA supports appeals

Kilcullen Community Action has expressed its support for the upcoming appeals to An Bord Pleanala against the recent planning permission for a vehicle recycling plant at Knockbounce Business Park.

At its recent meeting, members of KCA decided that it wasn't necessary for the organisation to mount an appeal of its own, as two very capable ones were being prepared, one by residents of nearby estates, the other by the existing enterprises in the business park.

The permission was granted to the principals of Dolly Skip Hire, and more than 80 people packed a meeting last Thursday night in Kilcullen's Town Hall to discuss a campaign to have the permission overturned.

KCA was one of many community organisations and individuals who submitted objections to the original planning application.
