Information is being sought about "trips and falls" on a new road in Naas that cost €5m and took some time to build, leading to some complaints from local residents.
She wants KCC to outline "the number of reports/complaints of trips and falls on the curbing on the Kilcullen Road it has received."
The redesigned narrowed the route for motorists and also created new footpaths, cycle routes and enhanced public realm space with seating.
But independent councillor Seamie Moore said redently some drivers are using Patrician Avenue as “rat run” to avoid turning off the road and on to the route leading to Naas Hospital and Ballymore Eustace.
