Kennyswell road campaigner announces he will contest local elections

A local campaigner has announced he is running in the local elections.

Conor Foley who has been campaigning over the high levels of traffic on the Kennyswell road in Kilkenny says he will seek election to the new Kilkenny municipal authority on May 23rd.

Residents have raised particular concerns over the amount of trucks and heavy goods vehicles that use the road.

Just last weekend a car went through a wall at Rothe Terrace there – Conor says thankfully nobody was hurt but locals are worried what might happen if the issue is not addressed soon.
