Naas
Pupils are to be encouraged to walk or cycle to two schools in Naas.
This will be done by setting up a Safe Route To School project - an initiative designed to encourage as many pupils and students as possible to walk or take the bike to school.
Designs for the Scoil an Linbh Iosa primary school at Ballycane to embrace the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Project are with the National Transport Authority for approval.
A Naas Municipal District Meeting was told that the next step is to start a public consultation process.
There are also plans for a similar project at the Naas Community National School, Craddockstown, and while these plans “are ready for construction” not enough money is available to allow this one to proceed in 2023.
