Cllr Chris Pender

Policymaker

I am a councillor for the Kildare Newbridge Municipal District. I focus on housing, sustainable planning, and strong public services. I work to deliver new social and affordable homes and improve maintenance of existing housing. I push for safer streets, better buses, and cycling and walking links that connect you with school, work, and local shops. I support youth services, sports, and community groups that make Newbridge a better place to live. I listen to you and act on real issues like illegal dumping, parking, and anti social behaviour. I want a fair town where every family can access education, culture, and sport. I use clear data and evidence to hold the council to account. I work openly, respond quickly, and stay available to help whenever I can.
