Dear Senior Executive Officer:
RE: Draft Kildare County Development Plan 2023-
2029
As a resident in this county who votes in this
constituency, I wish to make a submission on the
above county development plan.
I object to the inclusion of The Gallops Avenue' in this
plan (Chapter 5 and Table 5.4 - Priority Road and
Bridge Projects). This road proposal will not address
the transport and movement needs of the county and
our county deserves better. Furthermore, it does not
have the support of the majority of Naas residents as
evidenced by the many thousand submissions over
the years to the various Local Area Plans, Transport
Strategy etc. This road proposal was democratically
defeated in 2019 by Naas councillors (6:1 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stating this road proposal is outdated and not fit for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 unacceptable to disregard this
democratic decision and continue to attempt to
include it county development plans, The proposed
Gallops Ave road must be deleted from the county
development plan.
Yours sincerely
Marcella Sheehan
