LATEST: CBS Kilkenny get the go ahead for further developments at new site
CBS Kilkenny will have a new home from September
Kilkenny County Council has granted planning permission to The Board of Management CBS Kilkenny Secondary School for the development of an Artificial Grass Playing Surface with Surround Fencing, Floodlighting and Ball Stop Netting, together with all associated site development and ancillary works at CBS Kilkenny on the Dunningstown Road and Lousybush Lane (L-10075 local road).
Earlier this week, Cllr David FitzGerald claimed he was 'genuinely concerned we'll see people get frustrated' when voicing his views on the impending traffic situation in the area, adding, "This could be as controversial a scheme we've seen in the city for some time."
It's understood there will be an approximate 1km link road from the Freshford Road to the new CBS School, with improvements to the road including a signalised junction at the link road crossing also set to be completed before the new academic year.
Furthermore, Lousybush Lane will offer students a pedestrianised access road to the school but those works won't be completed in time for the new academic year with the project currently at the tendering stage. - READ MORE HERE
