Safe Parking for Kilmacullagh Road Schools Now
What we want:
We are calling on Wicklow County Council and the Department of Education to urgently address the unsafe and inadequate parking and traffic situation on Kilmacullagh Road, where two schools already operate and two ongoing building sites — including a new crèche not yet open — are adding to daily congestion.
In a letter, we would ask:
- To review the original commitment for a new school building for Woodstock ETNS and facilities, which has not been delivered.
- To provide a proper traffic and parking plan for Kilmacullagh Road that includes:
- Safe, designated parking for parents.
- Improved traffic management at peak school times.
- Measures to protect children walking to and from school.
- To take into account the impact of the new crèche and current construction works before further strain is added.
- To consult with parents, residents, and businesses to create a sustainable solution.
Without action, the situation will only worsen once the crèche opens and construction is complete, leaving families, children, and the wider community at risk.
Why is this important?
Why is it important?
The current parking and traffic situation on Kilmacullagh Road is unsafe for children, parents, and local residents. With two schools already operating and two building sites — including a new crèche — the road is becoming increasingly congested, creating real risks for accidents, delays, and conflicts in the community. Action now will prevent serious incidents and ensure a safer environment for everyone.
Why should other people join?
This issue affects the entire community: parents, children, local residents, and businesses. By joining the campaign, you help show decision makers that this isn’t just an individual concern, but a collective problem that needs urgent attention. Together, we can push for proper planning, safer roads, and better facilities for Kilmacullagh Road.
