Kildare plans public benches, a former pub becomes a takeaway, and a pedestrian crossing replaces a ramp.

In Kildare, Ireland, plans are underway to add more public benches for community benefit, though the Kildare County Council is cautious about locations and funding. A former pub in Newbridge is being transformed into a takeaway, with plans including new toilets and a specific operating time. Meanwhile, a pedestrian crossing is set to replace a vehicular ramp in Sallins by November, pending design and service relocation.
