Company that enforces parking rules in Kildare towns 'shouldn't have contract renewed'

Apcoa - the company that oversees the parking rules in towns across County Kildare - should not have its contract renewed.

Five Kildare county councillors have asked Kildare County Council to consider using community wardens it employs, instead.

They say that “given the imminent cessation of APCOA's contract”, KCC should move “to a model of community wardens, where wardens would have broad enforcement powers.”

They said these powers would apply to parking enforcement, litter fines and enforcement of responsible dog ownership.

This, they add, would be similar to what happens within Cork City Council and Dublin City Council.
