A local park user with a baby in a buggy has asked us to mention that on a few occasions while exiting the Black Avenue entrance to the park she's noticed
A silver car driving recklessly possibly a Honda Civic, no reg plate yet as the car was moving too fast, heading up and down from Leixlip Manor to the village , middle aged male with glasses.
Drivers need to slow down on this stretch before there's a serious accident.

The big ugly mast at the old ESB site is no more!
Having dominated the streetscape of Leixlip Main St and its surrounding neighbourhood for two decades or so, it has been removed today along with its concrete base.
