My first question at February (20th) Municipal District meeting; ‘Can the council provide an update as to what if any work has been undertaken or progress made on the plan to sell the machinery yard which continues to take up valuable space in the centre of Newbridge town, including what if any obstacle or change or mind has arisen to delay the sale which was touted more than 2 years ago?
Report issued by Mr B Martin, Administrative Officer, Roads, Transportation and Public Safety Department: The current base for machinery yard and salting operations for Kildare County Council needs to be transferred to a new location to facilitate the sale of the current site in Newbridge Town. The Part 8 process in respect to the new machinery yard and salting operations facility will be published for public consultation in the coming weeks.
