Tracey to seek playground surface improvement

Kilcullen's newly-elected councillor Tracey O'Dwyer is to look into having better surfaces installed in the town's community playground, writes Brian Byrne.

This follows the story posted on the Diary yesterday, which generated a substantial response from parents in the town about the unsuitability of the sand currently being used.

Cllr O'Dwyer says it would be an appropriate project to bring to the Local Community Development Committee in Kildare County Council and will discuss with fellow councillors how an improvement might be progressed.

The playground was opened in 2011 following a strong campaign since 2005 by a Playground Committee. This included a robust meeting between the community and councillors over the proposed location for the facility.

The total cost of the playground was €263,800.
