The big news this month is that An Bord Pleanála have given the go-ahead for the Sallins by-pass, the new Osberstown interchange and the M7 road widening scheme to proceed. These projects are absolutely essential for the infrastructure of the area and I have been lobbying for them to proceed for as long as I’ve been involved in local politics. Now we have real progress on driving it forward. The new interchange along with the bypass itself will take through traffic out of the village, allow the centre to develop and make it a lot easier for everyone to get where they are going in a shorter timeframe. Funding still has to be approved but this is a really important step in the right direction. You can see detailed route maps on my website here.
