Concerns about Newbridge traffic plan

NEWBRIDGE, 24 July 2002: by Brian Byrne. A Newbridge town councillor has expressed his concerns that the new traffic management plans for the town will ‘not badly affect trade’. The final draft plans are currently under consideration by Kildare County Council.

Cllr John O’Neill told KNN that Newbridge was in a particularly awkward position in that it had no suitable place for long-term parking in the town, and any pay-parking scheme must take into consideration the need for such parking facilities.

Earlier this month, Cllr Pat Black said he was annoyed that a copy of the plans had not yet been recieved by most of the town councillors, though he said ‘some councillors’ in Kildare County Council had seen them.
