On Friday 27th of August we had extra cleaning help from Sheamus an enthusiastic street cleaner  and his  fox.    Old and young alike were beguiled by the smart fox and silver tongued street cleaner. We thank   Bui Bolg street performers who  circulated High Street and St Kieran Street  highlighting  the importance of not throwing rubbish on the street and not stubbing cigarettes.

City “ goal posts” become a thing of the past.

Consultations between the KKB and the City authorities  have successfully concluded with the removal during the last week  of the city’s unsightly High street traffic restriction barriers.  KKB secretary   Elaine Bradshaw complemented the City authorities on the major improvement this has already made at the main High street portals and the enhancement of the city centre core for its citizens.
