LAWLESS WELCOMES OPENING OF EADESTOWN PLAYGROUND

James Lawless TD and Cllr Carmel Kelly attended the opening of Eadestown Playground today

James commented, “It was great to attend the official opening of Eadestown playground yesterday. This is the 4th new playground to be opened in the Naas district in as many years and goes back to a pact we made as Councillors in 2014 that we would ensure LPT monies were invested back into each community through new amenities. Kill, Sallins, Caragh and Eadestown have now benefited. Great thanks are due to Eadestown GAA for the use of the land to build it on.”

LAWLESS AND KELLY DISAPPOINTED AT PLAYGROUND VANDALISM

Councillor Carmel Kelly has expressed her bitter disappointment at the recent vandalism in the new Sallins Playground which has resulted in the closure of the facility

Carmel said, “I’m really sad that our playground is closed. There are some out there who just do not appreciate how long we have waited for this fabulous facility. The re-opening date unknown at this time.”

James added, It is very disappointing that a small group of people would sabotage their own area. The community in Sallins waited a long time for a facility like the playground and it is incredibly frustrating that it would be deliberately damaged. Anti-social behaviour at the playground has been an issue since it opened in June and it is important that secure fencing is now provided ahead of the official opening in November so that it can be an amenity for Sallins for years to come.”

LAWLESS WELCOMES SALLINS FOOTPATH IMPROVEMENTS

James Lawless TD has welcomed the progress on improving the footpaths through the town of Sallins

“In conjunction with Cllr. Carmel Kelly I am delighted confirm that our works have been carried out on footpath repairs in the village. The repairs works included the main footpath through the town. Next to be done is the section on way to primary school going past the Creche. The bins visible in picture were also put in this summer using some of Carmel’s discretionary funding. Most of Sallins village has now had pavement and/or road surface improvements carried out since 2014 between myself and then Carmel representing it on county council.”
