Vanessa Liston
Kildare County Council
As Councillor for the Celbridge community, Kildare, I look forward to working for change in how our voice is heard on the many issues facing our community. Open information, proper influence and full transparency in decision-making is absolutely essential for better services and infrastructure, and for excellence in climate action.
My aim is to Raise our Voice in new ways and ensure that we are equal partners in creating a better and sustainable future for Kildare.
My office is located at Unit 6, Riverview, Dublin Road, Celbridge. Please call or email to arrange to meet. Come along to the new Green Forum and get involved in working together.
