Sewage Treatment Plant

Kildare Chamber of Commerce has kept the pressure on Kildare Co. Co. and the Department of Environment to fulfil their promise to deliver the upgrade to the waste water treatment plant for Kildare Town. A delegation of chamber representatives met with Kildare County Council officials on 23rd January and subsequently met with Minister Dick Roche 17th February.
The following week An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern’s announcement of funding for the €21m project was quickly followed by departmental approval of Kildare County Council’s proposal of delivery.
Through the Chamber’s weekly contact with Kildare Co. Co. on this issue and through local representation with the department of environment, the proposed delivery date of the upgrade, by 3rd quarter 2009, now looks more feasible.

Pay Parking

Installation of parking meters and associated road marking works has taken place in Kildare Town in preparation for the introduction of Pay-Parking during the month of March. There will be a six month probation period after which time the system will be reviewed and possibly extended to other parts of the town.
