Tracey seeks playground upgrade, jobs initiative

Kildare County Council is being asked if it plans to upgrade the playground in Kilcullen, writes Brian Byrne.

The query is by way of motion from Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer, on the agenda for the meeting of the Kildare-Newbridge MD next Wednesday, 16 June.

Cllr O'Dwyer has submitted the query following the recent Government announcement of funding to local authorities to upgrade and improve playgrounds and outdoor play areas.

The councillor also has a motion asking for the establishment of a task force, through the Local Enterprise Office, to identify and actively pursue employment opportunities for small towns within the MD such as Kilcullen, Monasterevin, Rathangan.

Cllr O'Dwyer says this is necessary so as to ensure these towns do not just become a place to live and commute from, but are also a place to work in.
