Kilcullen Design Statement publication soon
 |
| The public consultation round last September. |
The Kilcullen Design Statement project should be published in its final form within the next six weeks, writes Brian Byrne.
Noel Clare told the recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Action that consultants The Paul Hogarth Company have almost completed the plan, which was begun in 2020 with a view to having a document to provide a locally produced blueprint for how Kilcullen might develop over the next two decades.
“There will be very concrete projects in the plan, which people might like to get involved with,” Noel told the meeting, while it was discussing ways in which new members might be attracted to KCA.
The Kilcullen Design Statement project is costing €22,000, which is funded by County Kildare Leader Partnership and grants from KCC through Cllrs Tracey O’Dwyer and Rob Power.
Although there were delays over the course of the plan’s progress, both due to the need to appoint new consultants and covid, it has progressed well. There were comprehensive surveys, workshops and presentations through what was promised to be a ‘completely transparent’ process with the community.
The final document will not have a statutory standing but will provide a valuable community input for any future development in Kilcullen by both local authority and private operations.
