Cllr. Ide Cussen brought forward the motions at the Celbridge-Leixlip MD.

Marker posts will be installed at the bend on the Clane Road, after Lovers Lane?

Cllr. Ide Cussen brought forward the motion and said that the bend was extremely dangerous and wanted bollards to be put in place.
The council has said it is are arranging for the installation of marker posts at this location in the coming weeks.

Cllr. Ide Cussen has asked the council to identify sites for annual drop off/collections of large/recyclable items as in the absence of a Civic Amenity Centre in the municipal district, residents are required to go to Dublin or Silliot Hill for disposal of same.

The council has said it is a matter for the members to discuss and agree.

Cllr. Cussen has said this will be approved but the funding has not come through yet.

She said she thinks it's a long way away, but has stressed to the council the urgency of these facilities for people in Kildare.

Cllr. Ide Cussen asked the council that an application for funding be made to the NTA for pedestrian/cyclist improvements to the Shackleton Road, to include junctions from housing estates where they exit onto this road.

The council has said one of the potential projects is to examine both signalised and unsignalized junctions with a view to improving crossing facilities for Kildare County Council.

It said the Shackleton Road would be one such suitable candidate for consideration in the Celbridge Town area, subject to funding being made available
