Kill community groups came together over the last few years securing in excess of €500,000 million in funding for the village. Now, Kill Action Group together with key stakeholders including Kill GAA club, Kill Community Centre, Kill NS parents association and Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and others, are working together to develop a Village Plan. The development of the village plan is supported by Waterford City and County Council and is being prepared under the direction of Ciaran Lynch. As part of the plan we are running a survey to get the views of the community and therefore would greatly appreciate your participation in our survey. The results of the survey will inform the Kill Village Plan 2025 which will be used to support funding applications for the development of the community, social, economic, cultural and environmental facilities and activities in Kill into the future. The survey is available online or paper copies are available from Happy Day’s shop. Please have your say.
