Changes to the layout of Poplar Square in Naas have divided local opinion.
The area has been made more ‘user friendly’ by the creation of a public realm space, new pedestrian crossings and an improved bus stop which ensures a safer stop for passengers.
But Cllr Anne Breen told a recent Naas Municipal District meeting that traders had complained; and people find it harder to park because of the loss of about 12 parking spaces.
