L.H.D
Action Groups
L.H.D.
Action Group was formed during the winter months of 1998. A course was
run by KCC in Scoil Mhuire, Newbridge. Respond provided the facilitators
and the course ended up after four months with 8 participants- two representing
Highfield Estate, four representing Dara Park, and two from Lakeside Park,
and Mairead Johnston representing KCC. The main objectives of the Action
Group were:
1. To up a good working relationship between the residents of the three
estates and KCC
2. To identify heads of sections of KCC and to bring to their attention
repair and maintenance tasks required within the Estates.
3. To meet on a regular basis and examine and discuss programmes.
As a result of strong representations by the Action Group to KCC the following
objectives have been achieved in approximately one year;
1. Major road repairs in Highfield and Dara Park.
2. Paths repaired in Dara Park.
3. Skips provided by KCC for "clean ups" in all three estates.
4. Block up of alleyway in Lakeside Park.
5. Provision of a ride-on lawn mower for use in the estates.
6. Major repairs and replacement to street lighting in Dara Park
7. Provisions of Speed Limit signs in Highfield Estate.
8. Regular visits by the Litter Warden to encourage proper disposal of
litter, and to prosecute offenders if and when necessary.
9. Irregular visits by the County Dogwarden to ensure dogs are licensed
kept under control and to prevent cruelty to animals.
