Bus stop signs and the associated road markings are needed for people using the bus service which connects Newbridge with the rail station in Sallins.

The service was praised by Cllr Brendan Wyse, who nevertheless said the signs and stops are needed “where none are currently present.”

He said the markings and stops should be at all stopping points for the Local Link 821 service in Milltown, Allen, Kilmeague, Robertstown, Allenwood, Coill Dubh, Prosperous, Caragh, Naas and Sallins.
