Roads around Castledermot in need of urgent attention - Daly

The roads in the vicinity of Castledermot are in a disgraceful state claims

Fine Gael Kildare South General Election candidate, Cllr Richard Daly.

“Following concerns expressed to me by residents in the area I toured some of the secondary routes adjacent to Castledermot in the past few days and was appalled by the condition in which I found them. While I am not an engineer I experienced road surfaces which needed resurfacing and road edges which could prove very dangerous if a driver were forced to the edge to allow passing traffic.” Said cllr Daly

“With a new motorway under construction the resulting construction traffic has caused serious deterioration of the existing routes which need urgent attention. In the recent inclement weather flooding on some of the roads has occurred most probably from the excess mud blocking the drains.

The road adjacent to Knocknacree Cross has been deemed so dangerous by one bus driver that he will not travel it and in the meantime at least one family is forced to walk on the road which to me seems unsafe.

Education, enforcement and engineering can lead to safer roads and I am publicly calling on Kildare County Council to examine these roads adjacent to Castledermot as a matter of extreme urgency and prioritise resurfacing, drainage and edging works to prevent serious accident.”
