Petition for bus shelter

Kilcullen bus stop c1929.

A petition to ask Kildare County Council to provide a bus shelter in Kilcullen can be signed in An Tearmann, writes Brian Byrne.

The matter has been rumbling along for some years, and a recent request to the Council to provide one at the current bus stop locations brought the response that the footpaths at the stops are too narrow.

If shelters are to be provided, it would require the relocation of the stops. Cllr Sorcha O'Neill says people signing the petition might offer suggestions for alternative locations.

The current bus stop opposite The Hideout has been a key community, people transport, and freight link since the 1920s.
