Kilkenny County Council Chairman Andrew McGuinness has confirmed that he does not support proposals that include blocking off the Dunningstown Road and has stated that he fully supports local residents who are campaigning for a better solution.
The new road design proposals are being put forward to facilitate an expected increase in traffic volume following the development of a new school in the area. The proposals include blocking the Dunningstown Road, a move many residents feel will cut their community off from Kilkenny City.
“We all want to see the development of a new school. It is badly needed and the sooner it happens the better. However, like any development, it cant be at the expense of what we already have and we cannot simply cut off a community of people with, what I believe, is a poor road design,” said Cathaoirleach Andrew McGuinness.
