The draft plan states that " delivery of quality homes and sustainable communities for County Kildare is a key and cross-cutting issue in ensuring that the county remains competitive as a place to live and invest in".

I propose that allotments be made available to residents in all new housing schemes, so that people can grow some of their vegetables and thereby reduce their carbon footprint.  Allotments have also been shown to increase community spirit and to promote a sense of wellbeing, essential factors in a sustainable community.
