Speaking at the April meeting of Kildare County Council Cllr Richard Daly again raised the issue of the urgent need for construction of the Southern Distributor Road around Athy.
“I was disappointed to see the massive reduction in the funding for the overall roads programme for Kildare for 2010 but most particularly that there was no reference to the Southern Distributor Road which is an identified priority of the County Council. While some reduction in funding can be accounted for by the fact that some major roads projects have just been completed the fact that the Southern Distributor route is still not a project which has received funding is a huge disappointment to all of the local representatives and the community at large.
The Southern Distributor Road has been identified as Kildare’s number one priority and I used to opportunity to remind council officials of that fact. Athy needs this piece of infrastructure to develop and there is unanimous support for the project. It is important now that the link road has been completed that the Southern route goes to construction stage.
I will continue to use every opportunity to highlight the need for this road”
