A senior Kildare County Council official has defended Council staff after criticism by a councillor about what she claimed was a delay in delivering local playgrounds in Newbridge and other areas.
Cllr Fiona McLoughlin Healy insisted that new playground facilities in Newbridge, Two Mile House, the Curragh Camp and Athgarvan should be delivered within four years.
At the Kildare-Newbridge municipal district meeting on December 15, the politician had called on municipal district councillors to “consider allocating the €100,000 allocated for a youth amenity to a playground for Newbridge, identified and highlighted in the council’s Play Strategy as a known need, and seek clarity as to where the remaining funding might come from if we are to have a chance of the project being completed within the next few years.”
