Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer
A new path should be installed in place of a muddy pathway in Athgarvan.
That’s according to Fine Gael councillor Tracey O’ Dwyer, who made the comments at the latest Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District meeting on Wednesday, February 15.
She urged Kildare County Council (KCC) in a motion to 'consider the installation of a path from Athgarvan Heights, Athgarvan, to connect back with an existing path at the Traffic Lights to facilitate safe access to the local shop and post box for residents from Athgarvan Heights.'
Cllr O' Dwyer was supported by her colleague Cllr Peggy O' Dwyer, who added: "I don't understand why we can't do bits like this in isolation."
KCC said in response: "This is a part of the scheme to widen of the Newbridge road, which is scheduled for a design review next year.
"Design review will commence in 2024.
"Overall delivery timeframe will be dependent on the design review and the ability to implement the Part 8 that was already granted," KCC added.
