Millennium roundabout update – I raised this again at the recent Naas area council meeting and questioned the benefits, the duration and the standard of works on this job. The lead engineer apologised on behalf of the council (first time I’ve ever seen that happen) which I did accept with good grace and he said the works would be finalised in two weeks. I queried the massive footpaths to which he replied that these offer crossing points would help the many people that walk to and from the train station, he also said there would be two lanes on each approach when finished (though I find it hard to see where the two lanes will go). That’s about a week ago and this week there is another ridge on the Naas side of the roundabout which is like driving up a sharp kerb on every journey. I will be asking the engineer to join me onsite tomorrow morning to talk to contractor and find out what on earth is going on.

Sallins Road Roundabout Upgrade
Work on the Sallins Road roundabout has now started. I flagged this up when it was planned last year (see comments below). The work will involve making all the approaches to the roundabout two lanes and it will increase the flow through the roundabout helping to relieve congestion on the Monread and Sallins roads. I have discussed the traffic management plan with the District Engineer and whilst there may be some minor disruptions, the plan is to keep the roundabout open at all times throughout the work. The works will run on for a number of weeks, and probably last into the Autumn or later.
