It is described as a "tactical urbanism covid-19 response project"

Kildare County Council wants to retain changes to a Naas square for the duration of the pandemic.

Parking spaces were removed from Poplar Square, and socially distanced seating installed.

It is characterised as a "tactical urbanism covid-19 response project"

KCC, responding to Social Democrats Cllr., Bill Clear, says the scheme "will inform the future design outcomes for its use as a permanent public space for the town."

It says that, subject to funding, it may install umbrellas on the square's picnic tables, to enable use during winter months.
