No community warden to be appointed to this Kildare estate
‘The estate is 40 years old and part of it is not well maintained’
Kildare County Council has ruled out assigning a community warden to a residential area in Naas - or to carry out road repairs in the immediate future.
Independent Ireland councillor Ger Dunne told a Naas Municipal District meeting that the warden could assist in running the active travel scheme initiated at the Scoil an Linbh Iosa school.
The warden, he added, could “monitor and assist with the parking situation at the school drop off and collection times.”
He also criticised the poor conditions of some roads in the estate and called for resurfacing work.
Cllr Dunne said people are walking up to school instead of parking at the nearby church.
He also said the estate is 40 years old and “part of it is not well maintained.”
He said rapids in the back of the estate need to have work carried out.
Kildare County Council said it has no plans to assign a warden but one is assigned to a crossing at the front of the school.
KIt also said that after the active travel scheme was started it provided a leaflet “for circulation to all parents advising them of the revised parking arrangements and advising them of the use of the park and stride location at the church.”
It also said the roads will not be upgraded this year but maintenance work will continue to . The Naas Municipal District Office will, however, continue to carry out necessary maintenance to ensure the road surface remains safe and serviceable.
