Locals have started a petition, calling for action to calm the traffic.

The petition says " Residents have been raising this for some time now, however Kildare County Council and the Ballymore Group have not come up with a solution. 

We need actions now. We appreciate all the support we can get so we can have our concerns heard, so we would greatly appreciate if you could please sign this petition to help us raise awareness."
