WORK is to finally start on the development of a new community centre for Naas, the Leinster Leader has learned. The old Parish Centre is being developed into “an all inclusive community centre” by Nás na Ríogh Housing Association Ltd. (NNRHA). Work is expected to begin before the end of the month.

Margharita Solon told the Leader on Monday that the impending start to construction work was “great news for everyone”.
The design team working for NNRHA on the development of the apartments for independent living is finalising the pre-construction details for the housing element of the NNRHA project.

Two local young men have undertaken to run a five-a-side soccer tournament as a fundraiser for the community centre development. Emlyn Hegarty-Kelly and Declan Donnelly outlined their proposal for the fundraiser to committee members of NNRHA a few weeks ago and the committee is said to be delighted with the possibility of giving a sense of ownership of the new facilities to younger members of the community.
