She has asked KCC to put down a single yellow line along the entrance road at

Osberstown Court and Osberstown Park, in the town.

“The area is inundated with cars parking there," Cllr Kelly told a Naas Municipal District committee meeting.

She added that the area is opposite the train station and "residents get up in the morning to find that cars have parked and they’re there for the day.”

She said she was asking the council to act “so that residents can get in and out.”

KCC responded that it will assess the location for the provision of yellow lines and any proposals will be discussed with Cllr Kelly.
