This housing estate to be taken in charge by Kildare County Council
The council will assume responsibility for any possible major works there in the future
The St John’s Estate in Johnstown village is to be taken in charge by Kildare County Council, meaning the residents will not be responsible for any infrastructural issues in the future.
Cllr Fintan Brett was told at a Naas Municipal District meeting that KCC is working in the taking in charge process and a surface defect list has been prepared and CCTV surveys of the underground pipe network have been completed.
KCC engineer Liam McNeela said Uisce Éireann will be asked to take in charge the water services infrastructure.
Once all required works have been scoped, a tender will issue for the required remedial works.
He added there is separate “ongoing engagement with various stakeholders about the future of the community centre for consideration alongside the taking in charge process.
