A Social Democrats councillor for Leixlip has called on the council to submit a proposal that a 'designated community use aspect' be added to the ESB housing site in Leixlip, Kildare, currently being prepared for a Part 8 consultation.
In her motion, tabled at June's Celbridge-Leixlip Municipal District meeting, Cllr Nuala Killeen said that this would allow for various groups to hold activities in certain rooms for meetings, art exhibitions, and a museum space, etc.

In its response, Kildare County Council stated that Cluid Housing will manage the development.
The proposal, the council explained, is for housing for older people with a community element comprising a common room including kitchen facilities near the front of the site.
The council stated: “The primary function of this space is for activities and events for the residents. Whilst its focus is for use by residents within the scheme, the use of the space can be arranged for an external group, if the use is appropriate.”
