Local parents have set up a committee and are campaigning for better road safety.
The pupils in Allenwood Primary School have done their own traffic counting surveys and have written letters to Kildare county Council requesting that a footpath be built from the village to the GAA club.
A group of parents in Allenwood originally set up the committee and are campaigning for improved road safety.
