Frank O’Rourke TD has been informed by Kildare County Council that street sweeping for towns in North Kildare is to be extended into weekends and will include Maynooth, Celbridge, Leixlip and Naas
In recent months, weekend street sweeping has been requested by tidy town committees, local businesses and community groups for the towns of Maynooth, Celbridge, Leixlip and Naas.
Frank said, ‘Together with these groups, I have made representations to Kildare County Council and asked them to consider extending the street sweeping into the weekends.’
‘Groups like the tidy towns and local businesses put in considerable efforts into keeping these towns clean and deserve great credit for their work. Putting in place a weekend street sweeping programme for these towns will provide assistance to these groups and give recognition to the valuable contribution they make to our community.’
‘As I understand it, the environment and transport departments of Kildare County Council are working together to agree how this programme can be best implemented, which I hope will commence in early 2017,’ concluded Deputy O’Rourke.
