Newbridge Chat Thread

The junction at Liffey Hall opened there a few minutes ago.

Tommy boy has been a good and positive contributor since early days of this thread.

I can vouch He is anything but a troll. Please just because He disagrees with your insulting remarks why must that be classified as trolling?

EDIT: Rereading back I surmised You were calling Tommy a troll? I think You were actually referring to the other person. If so, apologies for the misunderstanding.

I certainly was not trolling.

I've been burgled twice - both from lakeside.

A friend's business was broken into - guy was from lakeside.

A woman in a club I'm in was attacked - the girl was a junkie from lakeside.

Go to Naas courthouse on a Tuesday, Lakeside gets plenty of coverage.

That sinn fein thick knew what she was doing - she was targeting the xenophobic and racist people in lakeside with her false claims.

Yes there are decent people there too, but it's the scum there that always seem to rise to the top and show themselves off.

I got an email from Thornton's during the week informing me that their rates are going up.

Green Bin from €1.75 to €1.95

Brown Bin from €6.25 to €6.90

Black Bin from €11.30 to €12.50

I'm not sure yet what their annual charge is going up to ( if at all ), this year it was €85.00.

While I have no complaints about their service, I find their charges becoming expensive - how they can justify the charge for compost is something I cannot fathom. I know Oxygen and AES are in RH

Are there other options in Newbridge?

We use Oxigen. No bother with them. They were also willing to drop their price to match (paid in full for year) as AES were cheaper this year.

There is a Mizzoni pizza coming soon to the unit where Al Vesuvio and more recently Ramen were located.

I miss Al Vesuvio. <sad>

In the last couple of months I've had really good experiences at Jaipur and Dubh.

Ate in the new Indian Restaurant on Main Street over Eddie’s shop last weekend (don’t know current name). Lovely food and lovely staff. Reasonable pricing also. Usual cobra beer available and wines of course.

What work are they doing on Morristown Road? I guess they must be doing something with the bridge? Hopefully widening it? I see its closed till the end of the month.

I heard the bridge was hit twice & they are repairing it. Didn’t realise it’s closed until month end though.

Agree, if it can't be widened, they need to put lights there.

Hi all.

Really sorry if this is not the place to ask but, given it is the official thread for Newbridge, I expect local residents can give me the best answer. We have been looking at a house in Newbridge and we really like it. However we have heard from some people who claim to know it better than us that Newbridge is a bit rough. Can I ask if you have found this while living there?

I don't mean any offence at all by asking this question, I am just trying to get feedback from people who live there as opposed to second hand information.

Would there be enough room for a queue of traffic with the entrances to Lakeside Park and Beechmount Avenue/Allenview Heights there, as well as Watercress Manor and the vet? I suppose it would be doable with lights but it'd be messy. A new wider bridge would be the ideal solution but won't happen.

Newbridge is not rough. There are isolated incidents of crime and anti social behaviour like anywhere in the world. If the area and house suits you and your budget, go for it

Not sure what kind of demonstration was taking place outside McDonalds in Newbridge today, but not a great place for people holding placards (beep if you think all politicians are corrupt ??!!) when you're trying to negotiate a large busy intersection . Were they run out of the town centre ?
