KILDARE NORTH, 9 September 2002: by Bill Trapman. A notice requesting initial submissions for Action Area Plans needed in Maynooth and for The Wonderful Barn in Leixlip will be published by the middle of this month, wit community groups and individuals being given four weeks to make their initial submissions.
Cllr John McGinley has asked for initial submissions so that a first draft can be drawn up based on these. The draft will then be sent to all concerned seeking further comments. At a recent Leixlip area meeting it was agreed that the target of completion by Christmas was to tight and that it was better to get it right. A new target of six months for completion of all three plans was agreed.
Noel Sheridan, Senior Planner in Kildare County Council, is in charge of the project. Cllr McGinley advised him that he should meet the local groups most directly concerned, including Maynooth Community Council, Maynooth Action Strategy, Maynooth Development Association, Maynooth Community Centre Partnership, Royal Canal Amenity Group and Parson Lodge Residents’ Association.
Consultants, CAAS, have been engaged by the Council for the Carton Area Action Plan and the Council will be doing the Harbour one themselves.
