New sign supports New Ross' rich heritage
On May 7, the New Ross Municipal District unveiled the sign which is preserving the town's rich heritage while also supporting its Destination Town status. The unveiling was attended by New Ross Municipal District council members, Deputy Chief Executive Eamonn Hore and District Manager, Alan Fitzhenry.
Mr Fitzhenry said: 'Following on from the restoration and planting of the old New Ross Town Crest Sign at the Rosbercon side of the bridge last year, we have now repaired and restored the second sign that originally sat on the town side of the bridge.
'This has been fitted at the Oaklands Roundabout and planting around the sign is to follow in the coming weeks. It's great to see this piece of New Ross history back in public view and we think it makes for a warm welcome to town from the Wexford side. Thank you to our own district workers, Gatecraft and S. Doyle Painting for their lovely work on this project.'
The restoration of the sign reflects the town's commitment to honouring its past while looking forward to the future. The refurbished sign stands as a proud welcome to residents and visitors alike, symbolising New Ross's timeless charm and forward-looking vision.
