Call to clean up dirty road signs in Newbridge and Kildare

Former Minister and TD, Councillor Sean Power has called on Kildare Co Council to clean up signs in the Newbridge and Kildare Town areas.

The politician has asked the Municipal District Engineer’s Office to outline its policy for cleaning signs erected by the Council in the municipal district?

Signs can get grubby with dirt of passing traffic or residue of overhead trees.

The issue will be raised at the monthly local municipal meeting next week.

Separately, Cllr Power will also use the meeting to call on the Council to make every effort to maximise the wonderful opportunities that the reopening of The Curragh Racecourse will present.

The public representative will also ask the Council to outline what communications it has had during recent times with the Department of Education and Skills to identify new sites for schools the Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District area.

The meeting will be held in Áras Chill Dara, Naas on December 19.
