Dear Senior Executive Officer:

RE: Draft Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029

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, there have been many
submissions from Naas residents over the years opposing this proposal 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this road proposal is outdated and not fit for purpose. The current/ recent housing
developments are on the other side of Naas. It is entirely unacceptable to disregard this
democratic decision and include it in county development plans. I respectfully request that
the proposed Gallops Ave road must be deleted from the county development plan.

Le meas,

Miriam Colleran
