Plans to turn former Newbridge pub into flats

Plans to demolish a former Newbridge pub to make way for six apartments have been lodged with Kildare County Council.

Siobhan Devin wants to knock down the existing detached two storey building at Eyre Street and John Street, known locally as The Winning Post.

She has asked Kildare County Council for planning permission to build a three storey detached replacement building consisting of six apartments.

The plans allow for three one-bed and three two-bed flats as well as vehicular and pedestrian access to John Street.

Submissions can be made to the council by December 18 and a decision is due on January 17.
