New appeal for paint funds

An appeal for €250 for paint has been made by Kilcullen Community Action, as part of its commitment to support the visual improvement of Lower Main Street, writes Brian Byrne.

Donations of €150 towards the purchase of paint had already been received, Noel Clare told the meeting, and also reported that a suitable colour scheme had been prepared by environmental architect Laura Bowen.

The meeting also said it would accept the volunteering offer by local resident Ray de Courcy to do some of the painting work.

The painting work will be carried out on premises in the market square and Lower Main Street which are not currently occupied. KCA has already painted other buildings in the area.



On the same matter, the meeting unanimously decided to send a letter of appreciation to Jim Kelly of Castlemartin Estate for the visual remedial work carried out on the Lower Main Street property owned by Sir Anthony O'Reilly.

In what is still a work in progress, the security fencing has been painted, flower baskets and planting have been put in place, and a semi-derelict building is beginning to look lived in.
