A load of bollards!

The Diary was under the impression that there were in place some recommendations that bollards should have gold painted features to make them easier for those with poor sight to see.

However, on querying Kildare County Council to this effect, a prompt reply indicated that there are no such recommendations.

Therefore, we must believe that whatever method is used to make them more visible is up to the imagination of the local authority concerned.

For the benefit of Kildare County Council, the Diary therefore shows how this matter is dealt with in other places.

And for a real imaginative viewpoint, we humbly suggest that the Council looks at Winchester in the UK (please, though, a councillors visit is not necessary!).





Meantime, if you have a view on the matter, this is the last day to vote in our online poll (above right).
