Public playgrounds should be better distributed in County Kildare.
Cllr Rupert Heather asked that the county council addresses “the uneven distribution of playgrounds across the county.”
He said each area of the county should have a “basic level of amenities.”
Kildare County Council official Celina Barrett said it has a strategy which sets out proposals for additional playgrounds. This is the basis for providing a distribution of playgrounds around the county.
Additionally, it is a requirement for new large scale residential developments to include play provision within them. These will further increase the distribution of playgrounds.
