Town Council

    My town council have done nothing.

    I am a resident in an estate that is still under the control of the developer, whoever that is, as the bond has changed hands so many times.
    we have a residents association who work very well on behalf of the residents of the estate.
    the association has been going strong for 2.5 years and they have been in contact with the town council for most of the 2.5 years trying to rectify the problems within the estate.
    whenever there is a meeting with the town council, there is supposed to be a report written up and sent to kildare co co which is then supposed to be acted upon within 28 days.
    these are the processes that are supposed to be in place.

    not once over the last 2.5 years has the town council done what it is supposed to do, not once has a report been written and sent to the county council.
    they have reneged on all their promises.

    only now in the last 3 days has a report being drawn up by a local county councillor on behalf of the residents of the estate.
    they should be ashamed of themselves for the service they have provided to the residents of the estate.

    if not appropriate for this thread please advise and i will move to ranting and raving. just thought it would be more appropriate here.

    Naas had similar problems a few years ago. Hassle your TDs and call the Leinster leader newspaper to run a story on it.

    I know of one estate in Naas that wasn't taken over by the town council for 14 years!

    Good luck.

    The developer would have had to posted a bond with the council. You need to find out how much this amount is. Then hold an agm of the estate and see how many people want to wait until the council takes the estate back, or if people would prefer to take this bond and use it yourselves to get the estate finished. You then hold a plebiscite of residents and if te majority approve you can take the money and the estate in hand yourselves. Only problem is that the council will never take it off you if you do this.
