Politician calls for Gardai to stop cyclists using footpaths in Naas

Cllr Seamie Moore has called on Kildare County Council to help enforce a ban of cyclists from travelling on footpaths in Naas. 

The politician claimed that a safe environment should be maintained for pedestrians, particularly the frail, elderly, recuperating, children and those with hearing, walking and sight difficulties.

Cllr Moore referenced areas of the Naas lakes, open parks, town  centre or residential footpath areas.

He wants No Cycling Allowed public notices and for Gardai "to be more vigilant to the abuse of 'footpath cycling' by cyclists of all ages and all times of the day."

The issue will be raised at the next meeting with Council officials on January 15.
