Councilors have rounded on a proposal in the Land Development Agency bill which they say overrides the decision making role of elected councillors.

The cost of completing housing estates across County Kildare to the standard where they can be taken in charge by the council has been estimated at €4m. Once a residential area has been taken in charge it means that Kildare county council is responsible for ongoing infrastructural work.

Bonds are effectively financial assurances provided by developers that estates will be completed but Cllr Farrelly said some of these ‘are not worth the paper they’re written on’.

Specifically, he wanted to know about plans to upgrade or put traffic calming measures on the haul routes to the facility within the MD.
