It follows complaints from local residents

Issues of noise pollution in Johnstown village have been raised in recent weeks.

It follows complaints from local residents regarding articulated trucks that enter and leave a local distribution centre in the early hours of the morning.

Labour Councillor for Naas MD Anne Breen had put a motion to Kildare County Council asking for the council to investigate environmental issues in relation to noise pollution from the trucks, which she says cause "excessive noise in the neighbourhood".

Speaking on Kildare Today, she says the trucks "come in at 4:30am in the morning until late at night".

Cllr Breen added that the council are investigating the noise pollution.

KCC say that an unauthorised development file is open on the site in relation to potential non-compliance with conditions of the parent planning permission.

Cllr Breen concluded that she would be "waiting on the report" from the council, following noise complaints from local residents in the village.
