Proposed community garden being redesigned
The plan was discussed at last night's meeting of Kilcullen Community Action, where Derek Hoey noted that possible future extension of the Community Library restricts the area available for the garden. He told the meeting that because the Library is a preserved building, any expansion of the facility will have to take place on the site around it.
"But we still have loads of space," he said, adding that a redesign of the draft plan will 'sort' the matter.
Further discussion related to access to the proposed garden, and insurance concerns. Entry to the proposed garden will be through the existing Library property gate, and the boundary of the garden area will have to be 'visible' for insurance purposes, Ann Cashman noted.
On a question of whether people are to be invited to work in the garden, Celia Travers emphasised that the facility will not be 'allotments'. Martin Sheridan said anyone wishing to work an area will have to get permission from KCA.
The meeting was also told that an application has been made to the 2019 Community Enhancement Programme for funding towards the cost of the garden.
