NAAS NW QUADRANT PLANS

Kildare County Council is proposing a change to the County Development Plan to include the Northwest Quadrant Masterplan for Naas.

This is a major long-term plan for around 300 hectares of land on the northwest side of Naas. It is expected to become the main area for future housing growth in Naas and one of the key housing locations in County Kildare.
This was on the direction of Minister James Browne , Minister of Housing. Kildare coco must provide zoned land for 5000 houses in Naas.

The plan must be about far more than simply building houses. It must be about building a real community.

That means roads, services, schools, crèches, community facilities, green spaces, parks, sports facilities, safe walking and cycling routes, employment areas and the infrastructure needed to support proper, sustainable development.

My major concern is that houses will be built first, while the essential amenities are left until later. That cannot be allowed to happen.

Families should not be moved into a new area without schools, childcare, safe roads, public spaces and community facilities already planned, funded and delivered.

Naas has seen too many examples where housing comes first and the community infrastructure comes years later, if at all.

We have one chance to get the Northwest Quadrant right. This must be a proper planned community from day one, not just another large housing estate waiting years for the facilities it needs.

I would strongly recommend that all local groups, clubs, schools, residents’ associations, childcare providers, sports organisations and community groups make a submission to the consultation process. This is the time to ask for what your area needs. Please share with your club.

If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

The purpose of this variation is to give the Northwest Quadrant a formal planning framework so that development can be guided in a structured way and not happen on a piecemeal basis.

This is a hugely important plan for the future of Naas. It is vital that we get this right from the start.

We are one of only thirteen AED's in Naas and surrounding areas. Well done everyone.

🔎 WE NEED YOUR EYES! 🔍

​We’re taking a quick break from our "Meet the Team" profiles this weekend because we have a mission for the people of Naas, Sallins, Caragh and Johnstown!

​Our team is currently building new, updated maps of every AED (defibrillator) in the area. We want to know exactly where they are, whether they are inside a shop/office or accessible 24/7 on an outside wall.

​Why are we doing this?

​⏱️ To Save Time: In an emergency, every second counts. Knowing exactly where the nearest AED is can save a life. ​
To Spot the Gaps: Once our map is finished, we can clearly see which neighborhoods or streets don't have an AED nearby so we can prioritize fundraising to get new ones installed there! 📍

​How you can help:

Have you spotted an AED lately? Maybe it's:
🏠 Near where you live?
🏢 In your workplace?
🛒 At your local shop or gym?
🌳 Along your favorite walking route?

​Please let us know in the comments below or dm us. Even if you think we already know about it, tell us anyway—it’s better to have it on our list twice than not at all! 🔍

Any owners of medium/large playful/sociable dogs fancy meeting up for a walk around Kleisure grounds or a run around? Have a 2yr old boxer x who loves making new friends!
I usually walk at 4:45pm Tuesdays/Thursday around Kleisure pitches when very quiet.
Please leave a message below. Ta. 🐾

Last year a pair of robins nested in one of our p**p bag dispensers and over the Winter, many small birds have been using them for roosting at night time. This means that restocking these dispensers with bags has become difficult because of the disturbance it causes to these birds. We recently installed five bird boxes on the poles above each dispenser. Some are robin nesting boxes, and some are for other small birds like blue t**s etc. Hopefully, they will enjoy their new homes.
