My long distance walking began in 2010 after my wife Doreen died of Cancer. At the same time I also suffered from Cancer. I have since walked 10000 miles .

There is no sign to me,at 85 yrs old, with mobility issues, that KildareCoCo or any of the councillors in the Naas Municipal District are Age Friendly.

I was intrigued that with an alleged Age Friendly Council @KildareCoCo the keep ignoring me allowing a tree on the public path to overgrow blocking my driveway. But then I saw the atrocious condition of the Naas Main Street and thought what hope has one 85 yr old man. @KildareFm

or indeed an ambulance if I as an 85 yr. old needed one. @KildareCoCo who should have trimmed my tree for me didn’t It was left to two caring women .
Now KCC if you are an Age Friendly Body come and remove the branches from W91cdop.

These are the prunings from the branches of the tree outside my house blocking my driveway and the footpath preventing easy access to older people and if I had a car I’d not have been able to access my driveway

As an older person with health problems I find that most people in Naas a very age friendly . But not so with @KildareCoCo . I have to depend on people to help me to do things that KCC are responsible for Unlike the @HSELive who though being short staffed are very age friendly

Apparently not @TescoIrl you told me one week ago that you would remove your 3 crates from my home . I’m 84 and they are a danger to me.
Please remove them as you promised one week ago.

What is the significance of the town/City Viterbo in the history of the Conclave, now going on in Rome. I walked to Rome on three occasions and stayed in Viterbo Twice. It has an amazing history. I’ve posted about already on Facebook but there was little interest in it.

Naas Councillors. KildareCoCo Take note. Don’t be the ones to cause Disabilities in Older people . Insist footpaths are not a danger for older people especially the footpath in front of Vista Primary Care Centre
Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
The day is about promoting the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities at every level of society and development, and to raise awareness of the situation of persons with disabilities in all aspects of political, social, economic, and cultural life. @WHO
The theme for 2024 is amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future.

Kildare North Candidates and subsequent results. I live in Naas and usually buy Local. But only I get value. I didn’t get value from the two Naas Councillors who were Candidates. As Councillors I never got value from them and was ignored by them .

As an older person— I’m aged 84, I constantly contacted @KildareCoCo re the Footpaths in Naas being not fit for purpose for older people, in fact some of them are dangerous. The path outside VistaPharmacy is the worst in my opinion with uneven and loose paving.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.
RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.
I’ve noticed one of the Exercise utilities broken for a few weeks now. So @KildareCoCo how about doing something about it. This is my first time to notify you.

@KildareCoCo good on you. You’ve taken away the broken part of the exercise post. When is going to be repaired and replaced.?

I got a canvassing leaflet today from Fine Gael , with on the front, shows the Fine Gael Candidates in Kildare North.
Yesterday I had a canvasser at my door for the Local Naas Candidate. I’m an 84 yr. old voter. I told the canvasser my concerns of older people.

Which Simon Harris did on the back of the FG leaflet which I received today.
Is there a disconnect what the Party leader aspires to and the local Candidate , ignores on her canvassing leaflet and indeed in the evidence in Naas during her time as a councillor.
