    FCC have a new library management system - local library says that they are not charging for loan reservations any more - the website is still saying that you have to pay.
    You can get alerts by email - but the text reminder to bring back books is not in the new system
    plus I had a few books late and the system seems to have lost the fines! happy days!

    Great job done at Barnegeeara, between Skerries and Balbriggan as you approach the railway bridge on the way to Ardgillen. Great visibility now and hopefully they will continue the next 40 meters.

    No you can not. An email yes. Text message service is not yet reinstated for overdue items.

    You can receive a text message if you have reserved an item but not yet for overdues.

    An email service is available for overdues. The text message service for overdues may be reinstated in the new year.

    The Fingal Litter warden's do a great job,I keep there number in my mobile.
    There are no words worth mentioning to describe the type of low life moron that dumped a TV
    at Grange lodge rd,adjacent to the old graveyard,on the way to Ardgillian last week and household waste further up the road.
    Horse whipping would be too good for these moron's,they don't even have the intelligence to know that ye can bring any old electrical's to any electrical shop or recycling centre for disposal for free.
    Whoever dumped the TV obviously had a car,why not go the kilometre extra and dispose of it properly.Grrrrrrrrr .
    The litter warden's or some decent citizen had it gone before I had a chance to ring them,I would have lifted it myself but am unable too these days due to illness.
    What ever about fly dumpers , Tagger's need exterminating proper,ye can't give em a lick of the cat o nine tail's,the birch is politically inappropriate (god I hate that word now),I'd super glue the sod's hand's shut,so they'd not be able to hold an aerosol can in there brain dead hand's,might give them the time to''find them selves'' and some other positive form of self expression.
    That's the worst of getting older ,ye start mellowing out,we could with judge Frank Martin back on the bench,aye he knew how to sort em.
    Any way I tend to go on a bit ,as ye might notice,but fair play and well done to our on the ball Litter Warden's.

    "This thread is about pointing out the nice things"

    Feel free to start a new thread on things FCC could improve. :)

    Good work in Balrothery landscaping around heritage centre, also have to say great cycle link from Balrothery to Balbriggan. My eldest goes to Ardgilan school and can cycle all the way there without having to cycle on the road at all.
    Kudos..

    Cula Boola...cheers !

    Edit: Massive shout out from me too, to the FCC for all the flowers on the Swords roundabouts. They really do your heart a world of good, on all those cold, wet & miserable February/March days, when you think that the Spring will never arrive.

    Nice of the council to install new street lights between the Rush/Lusk train station and Rush. Just a pity that they don't work:rolleyes:

    Yes, it's a new system they are trying out.

    You put a Euro in a meter opposite the Station, and the lights stay on for 15 minutes to get you home. :D:confused:

    Doing a great job around Balrothery at the moment, down by the church and shops....

    Fair play to them sorting out 2 blocked drains in my estate, only took 5 years, but they seem to be getting things done at the moment... :)

    I thought it looked like a deliberate thing. Looked like it was for an oversized load that could not get around the roundabout and had to go over it. Couldn't find any reference to this online though.

    Lights now switched on and working on the road between Rush/Lusk railway station and Rush. They are fantastic really bright and it makes it so much safer for walkers, cyclists and motorists. That was a dangerous stretch of road but these lights make a fantastic difference.

    Yes they appear to be. I see Dublin city council are using them also. Far brighter and safer for everyone.

    Credit where it's due. They threw down some gravel, etc, on the trail around Malahide castle. Easier under foot.
