Residents on the private section of Malone Way Road, Allenwood South, paid a contribution to the Local Improvement Scheme, to have that part resurfaced in recent years. This week, the roads team of Kildare County Council completed resurfacing on the public section also, at a cost of €67,500. Whilst the majority of the roads budget…

Great community spirit in Carbury today, with people out cleaning their local ditches and hedgerows. I stayed within my own 5km by tidying the Grand Canal towpath between Killina and Kilpatrick. Thanks to John Daniels and everyone involved in organising this clean-up.
