There ‘is a strong need for this’
Work is taking place to create a new public park in Johnstown, outside Naas.
Local councillor Fintan Brett asked Kildare County Council to provide up to date information on the plans as well as the expected completion date.
He also asked KCC “to outline what facilities and amenities are proposed, given the strong need for this park within the local community.”
KCC official Simon Wallace said that the park is being developed by the local community. He also said the initial works which are currently underway will improve drainage on the site. He said these also include the installation of a perimeter path.
