An extra 72 buses will visit just one Kildare town daily - because of planned development
A survey of the number of buses using the town ‘is needed’
The number of buses travelling into Naas is set for a dramatic increase.
This, according to independent councillor Seamie Moore, will be the result of development planned for the so-called Northwest Quadrant - the Millennium Park area.
He wants Kildare County Council to assess the number of buses coming and going from Naas town centre.
He said the assessment should establish the number of vehicles, including those providing services for schools, the airport, tourism, the rail station, as well as “special needs” and vehicles only travelling within the local area.
He said buses are using the town centre “in ever increasing numbers” - and there will be “a further 72 daily bus arrivals from the proposed new housing development in the Northwest Quadrant.”
