Councillors Unhappy After Not Being Consulted With For Regeneration Plans In Newbridge

Social Democrats Councillor for Kildare-Newbridge Chris Pender

It comes as some felt more projects could've been considered

Local councillors have questioned why they were not consulted before submissions were finalised for the Towns and Cities Regeneration Investment Fund in Newbridge.

It comes as some felt more projects could've been considered

Speaking on Kildare Today, Social Democrats Councillor for Kildare-Newbridge Chris Pender said that they had "no input wahtsoever".

"We had no input into it whatsoever and it's concerning because in many ways councillors are the one on the ground that see the projects that people want delivered."

He also referenced potential projects for a swimming pool as well as housing in the town.

Cllr Pender accepted that even though the council don't have to consult them, he said "it would be nice to work with the executive and the council".
