I am delighted to have secured funding from Kildare County Council to have the footbridge over the Liffey in Celbridge re-painted. This is a project that the Tidy Towns were looking to have carried out for some time. It is great to see this project now completed and it compliments all the other great work we have had done in recent months, projects like new ornamental sign poles, street benches, removal of redundant signs and poles from the Main Street, chewing gum removal and not to mention the removal of the Eircom overhead cables and poles.

The Town looks great with all this work completed together with the lovely flowers,the work carried out by the business’s on their premises and all the great work done by the Tidy Towns. Director of Services Joe Boland comes for a walk-about each year with me and the Tidy Towns and we review progress and discuss projects. Thanks to Joe and his team together with the Area Office staff for assisting me in having these projects delivered.

Projects we are working on for the past twelve months are the slip viewing platform project and the development/landscaping for the waste ground on the Maynooth road close to Crodaun. Both projects are progressing to design stage.
