Cllr Aisling Dempsey's motion to provide salt bins to public buildings and housing estates has been approved.

The motion was unanimously agreed at a council meeting yesterday (29th January) following the difficulty locals faced during the recent events of bad weather.

It has been referred to the Strategic Policy Committee who will put a plan in place to implement it.

Cllr Dempsey said: "In the meantime as it could take some time, I've set aside some discretionary funding that I want to make available to residents associations and schools to purchase a salt bin for this year."

She added: "If you are in the Trim MD area or surroundings towns (such as Ballinabrackey, Rathmolyon, Clonard, etc) and are involved in a school or residents association please do get in touch with me and we'll arrange it.
