Kilcullen LAP to be published in May

Kildare councillors have agreed to publish the Draft Kilcullen Local Area Plan 2014-1020 for public consultation on 7 May, writes Brian Byrne.

The decision was made at today's monthly meeting of the Council, held in Teach Diarmaid in Castledermot.

The previous scheduled date of publication had been 19 March, but this was deferred at the February meeting at the request of Athy Area councillors because Kilcullen is moving back into the Naas Area as a complete entity for the May local elections.

Athy area chairman Cllr Ivan Keatley said the move would mean that the details and submissions from the LAP will now be voted on by the new councillors representing Kilcullen after the elections.

The Diary has been reporting elements of the plan for the last week, stories which can be accessed here.
