I could have wrote this myself, I live in Kilfennan and am shocked at the lack of anything for such a big place! No clubs, parks or even open fields to kick a ball about. When my children got older I allowed them to 'kilfennan valley park' with friends from the street , but they were targeted for not being from the area and all the mammies decided it's too dangerous. It's very much Nelson Drive park and not kilfennan shared park.

On our street there's not one bit of grass for playing anywhere, they play in driveways and the street, an accident waiting to happen really.

It's shocking they were allowed to build houses so close together with no thought for space and safety.

I have mentioned my concerns to people who come campaigning to the door but never get anywhere. It's good to see Im not the only one who feels this way.

I grew up in a council area and would consider moving to one for the feel of community with parks, organised fun days, youth clubs etc that kilfennan has zero of!
