The Mayor of the Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District (MD) received assurances from Kildare County Council (KCC) that it would implement safety measures at school ramp crossing.

The announcement from KCC was heard at the latest MD meeting, which took place on Wednesday, November 19 last.

While in attendance at this meeting, the Mayor of the MD, Fianna Fáil Cllr Noel Heavey, motioned for KCC to upgrade safety measures at the ramp crossing outside of St Patrick’s Primary School, which is located in the Morristown region of Newbridge.

His motion was seconded by Fine Gael Cllr Peggy O'Dwyer.

In response, KCC told Mayor Heavey via the report it presented at the meeting that the MD Office "currently has plans in place to carry out safety measures at this location".

Mayor Heavey replied by saying that he welcomed KCC's report.
