As residents of Woodlands, who will be affected badly by the proposal for Gallops Avenue (formerly Naas Inner Relief Road), we wish to make a submission on the part of the Plan covering the aforementioned Gallops Avenue.
We object to the inclusion of 'The Gallops Avenue' In the plan (Chapter 5 and Table 4) - Priority Road and Bridge Projects. This road proposal will not address the transport and movement needs of the county. Furthermore, it does not have the support of the majority of residents of Naas as evidenced by the many thousand submissions on the various Local Area plans over the years. This road proposal was democratically defeated in 2019 by Naas Councillors (6 to 1 votes) who are on the record in Naas MD Council minutes as stating this road proposal is outdated and not fit for purpose. It is entirely unacceptableto disregard this democratic decision and continue the attempt to include in county development plans. The proposed Gallops Avenue road must be deleted from the Plan.
Yours Sincerely,
John and Deirdre O'Connell
