Councillor Byrne

That the council now adapt the traffic calming proposals from senior engineer  in the area of St. Raphaels facility on the Clane/Celbridge Road that will make the area safer for the residents of St. John of Gods and that this project be given priority for funding in 2010.

 

Councillor Murphy

In the absence of funds to do a major road upgrade on the Confey Road we seek modification such as moving the  50 km speed limit up to Gaffney’s house and provide ramps from the graveyard to past the junction.

 

Councillor Murphy

                We ask for a report on the level of road gritting done within the Celbridge electoral

 area during the recent icy weather.   That we are provided with the route map

 followed and any scope there is to add to this. 

 

 

 

 

 

Questions

Councillor Byrne

To ask the council if they would repair the parking area beside Aghards school in Celbridge where there are severe pot holes (If this area where dug up and levelled with some plant waste it would be much appreciated on an interm basis).

 

Councillor Byrne

To ask the council if the sign prohibiting parking of 3 tonne lorries at the entrance to Castlevillage Estae Celbridge be replaced as the old one has been removed.

 

10.  Councillor Murphy

   Is there scope to apply to the DTO for funding to implement traffic management

   studies,  such as the one carried out in Celbridge and the one due to be done for

   Leixlip which the DTO have provided €100,000 to do.  If so what is the title and

scope of the DTO scheme?

Motions

That immediate action be taken to adjust the relative heights of the new road constructed at Old Greenfield, Maynooth, in association with planning permission 06/424, and the ground level of houses to the North which are supposed to have access to this new road.

 

12.  Councillor Murphy

                Now that An Bord Pleanala has issued permission for the Newtown Inn complex, 

                which has included a clause to complete Meadowbrook Estate in advance of

                commencing work there,  that this Council issues a snag list with a view to getting

                this estate taken in charge in  the short term.

 

 

 

 

Question

13.  Councillor Murphy

       As both the Celbridge and Leixlip LAP’s include an objective to identify and map

      the open spaces in housing estates within the lifetime of the plan,  once that work

      is done is there any reason why  those maps cannot be put on public display and

      responses sought?

Motion

That the flooding relief scheme for Straffan be completed by removing the Bottle Neck in front of the Straffan Inn, where a number of new large drainage pipes are channelled in to a smaller old box drain in front of the pub, that recently resulted in the flooding of the church and the pub.  And that the main drain at its entry point with the Liffey at Lodge Park be turned with the river flow to give a venturI effect and thereby prevent back up from the Liffey.

To ask Kildare Co Council what action they intend taking to prevent a re-occurrence of the flooding at Hazelhatch Railway Station and other areas near there and if a report on this matter would be provided for the next meeting?
