Today an announcement has been made that a temporary crossing will be provided at Kill village just a day before a large protest is planned outside the Kildare County Council Offices.
Go Slow protests have been taking place ever since a young schoolgirl sustained injuries in a collision.
Reports have emerged today that Kildare County Council is approving
the installation of a temporary crossing for Kill village. Kildare County Council have said that permanent crossings will be built as part of the National Transport Authority funded Naas to Kill cycle scheme. This project is at the detailed design phase.
Kildare's Chief Superintendent urged the County Council to install a pedestrian crossing in Kill and Johnstown.
Senator Anthony Lawlor said: “People like Diana Maynard, Paula Mills, Aurley Keenan and Cllr Fintan Brett deserve huge respect for what they have done, everyone who stood with and beside the Kill community in the wind and rain do."
He said:“The next phase is to get the temporary crossing installed immediately. Then, keep the pressure on Kildare County Council and the National Transport Authority to get the permanent crossing built as soon as possible. The people of Kill deserve no less. We won’t stop until we are successful.”
