Kill Action Group is delighted to announce that the funding application, prepared in conjunction with Waterford City and County Council, for a Community Park on the grounds of the Community Centre has been successful. Funding will also provide for an extension of the car park to the rear of the Community Centre which will effectively double the size of the carpark. Initial plans have been developed for the amenity which will include an outdoor performance area / gathering space, a terraced garden, some small playground equipment, seating and lighting. Upgrade works on the Community Centre building are also starting this month. Our sincere thanks to all who helped in any way.

Complementary tea/coffee and sweet treat so come and join in the fun.
