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minutes as stating this road proposal is outdated and not fit for purpose.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