Square redevelopment will be 'shared/multipurpose': Council
That was part of the written answer to a question on the agenda of this morning's meeting of the Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District, put down by Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer.
Cllr O'Dwyer had asked that the Council 'work with the residents and businesses' of the town on the design for the development, for which a €200,000 grant from the Town & Village Renewal Scheme 2018 has already been allocated. The redevelopment is estimated to cost in the region of €500,000.
Concerns have been raised about an impact on businesses from the loss of parking spaces in the square. A conceptual plan presented to councillors of the Naas Municipal District in June 2018 has not yet been made available publicly. A Part 8 process under the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 required for a local authority to undertake public developments has been promised, and the draft plan will be part of the public consultation for this.
The reply to Cllr O'Dwyer's question noted that the Council has been working with Kilcullen Community Action, who carried out a public consultation day in the square in September 2017.
