Under the Derelict Sites Act 1990 local authorities (in this case Kildare County Council) can take measures to prevent and control Derelict Sites within their administrative area (the County of  Kildare including the Town Council areas).

 

A Derelict Site as defined under this Act means any land which detracts, or is likely to detract, to a material degree from the amenity, character or appearance of land in the neighbourhood of the land in question because of

(a)  the existence on the land in question of structures which are in a ruinous, derelict or dangerous condition or

(b)  the neglected, unsightly or objectionable condition of the land of any structures on the land in question

 

If you wish to report land/structures which you believe fall into this category please complete and return the attached form giving as much details as possible.
