COLEMAN DISAPPOINTED AT COUNCIL XMAS PARKING DECISION
Councillor Michael Coleman has expressed his disappointment that a majority of Councillors in the Celbridge Municipal District have voted against providing Free Parking over the Christmas Period
Michael commented, “Unfortunately, for the second year in a row, Councillors today voted against free parking in Celbridge and Leixlip for the Christmas season. I am very disappointed that I was not supported by my fellow Celbridge Councillors concerning the proposal that I once again put forward at the request of Celbridge Business Association (C.B.A.) and businesses in Leixlip. My priority has been, and always will be, promoting our local businesses, economy and jobs and our businesses have stated to all of the Councillors that they have suffered greatly as a result of not having free parking last Christmas.”
“I would like to thank my fellow Councillors Joe Neville and Nuala Killeen who saw the importance in implementing free parking at this time, however due to FOUR councillors voting in favour of paid parking and embodying the Christmas Grinch today, paid parking continues. Despite my disappointment I continue to stand with businesses in the Celbridge and Leixlip Municipal District and hope that the community will shop local and continue to support local businesses this Christmas.”

LAWLESS CRITICISES DELAY IN SALLINS UNDERGROUND CAR PARK
James Lawless TD has criticised the further delay in the provision of an Underground car park in Sallins Train Station
James said, “I recently wrote to the Group Secretary of CIÉ about the ongoing delay in opening the planned underground carpark at Sallins Train Station. The response, which is below, has confirmed that it is now not expected to open until spring in 2020. Geraldine Finucane, Group Secretary of CIÉ, outlined that Irish Rail are very close to agreeing terms with the agents on a lease for the underground carpark which would include the necessary remed…iation works. The site has suffered flooding in the past and requires substantial repairs to bring it up to the required standard.” Continue reading “LAWLESS CRITICISES DELAY IN SALLINS UNDERGROUND CAR PARK”
