Plans for more park benches and bicycle stands in Newbridge

Kildare Co Council is planning to install more outdoor seating in Newbridge town. 

Officials are also looking at providing bicycle parking stands on the Main Street. 

Councillor Peggy O’Dwyer had asked the Council to consider installing additional bicycle racks on Newbridge Main Street

in particular at the lower end from St. Conleths Bridge.

The Council said that its Strategic Projects and Public Realm team are currently working with the Sustainable Mobility team on the provision of parklets with outdoor seating and bicycle parking on the Main Street in Newbridge, including at the lower end from St Conleth's Bridge.

The issue was discussed at the monthly meeting of the local Municipal District on September 15.
