Cllr. Mark Stafford brought forward the motions at a recent Kildare Newbridge MD
A safety audit at the T junction on the R419 with the new link road at Sheane Bracknagh Road, Rathangan will be carried out and all necessary remedial works.
Cllr. Mark Stafford of Fine Gael brought forward the motion.
“Traffic on the T junction is bad and the vision of motorists is impaired due to the trees,” he said.
The council has said Kildare County Council intends to develop a county wide priority list of junctions that require improvement due to safety or other concerns.
It is hoped that these priority junctions will be examined in 2022 and a consultant appointed to assist in the development of preliminary designs for each junction.
Once this is complete planning consent will be sought to implement the schemes and they will progress to the delivery phase thereafter.
This will be subject to funding and resources
constraints.
Cllr.Mark Stafford has asked the council confirm the number and location of all authorised soil recovery facilities in the Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District
The council has said the number and location of all authorised waste recovery facilities within County Kildare are freely available to the general public and staff alike via the National Waste Collection Permit Office website www.nwcpo.ie
It says it does do not maintain a separate register of waste facilities for towns or municipal districts in County Kildare.
However, Cllr. Stafford notes that there are 33 waste facility centres across the county.
Details of such facilities are updated on a regular basis as facilities open and close, and unfortunately the website was down at the time of writing of this report.
The council has said it would encourage the members and members of the public to refer to the website and check for availability of facilities in their area and to also check if needed as to whether particular facilities have the required certification to be in operation.
If members of public has concerns they should be referred to the council’s Waste Enforcement Team at environ@kildarecoco.ie for investigation.
