A number of motions and questions relating to Kilcullen and Brannockstown are on the agenda for the next meeting of the Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District, writes Brian Byrne.

These include a query from Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer asking the Council to confirm if it has plans to resurface the Logstown Road back towards Carnalway. The surface at Logstown itself was re-done in April of last year, with a commitment at the time that it would be done to Carnalway during 2021. 

Cllr O'Dwyer is also asking the Council if it has explored the purchase of a derelict building in the heart of Kilcullen, new to market, to be developed as a youth and community space, using the new funding stream to support local authorities purchase vacant buildings which can be converted and developed for community use under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme.

A motion relating to Brannockstown by Cllr O'Dwyer asks that the Council investigate the cause of persistent flooding in the village of Brannockstown on the Dunlavin approach road just after the Ballymore Junction, where residents have to consistently leave sand bags in place to prevent water coming into the front of the their houses, as the road appears higher then gardens at this location.

Cllr Fiona McLoughlin Healy has a question seeking an update on progress for the delivery of a safe crossing over Pinkeen Stream.

The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 20 July 2022, beginning at 10.30am in the Council Chamber at Áras Chill Dara, Naas.
