Pride of Premises Awards 2023

LEO Kildare established its Shopfront Improvement, Accessibility and Age-Friendly Grant and Retail Window Grant to support excellence in appearance and accessibility. Smart shop fronts make a town feel more prosperous, improve its image and contribute towards a stronger sense of identity.

In March 2023, Kildare County Council hosted the Pride of Premises Awards at MERITS to recognise the efforts of businesses across the county who have availed of these funding streams.
