Lidl proposed for Swords

PCros · 2010-03-31 20:50:19

So what do people think about Lidl going onto the site of the petrol station on the Rathbeale road? I think its a joke that road is way too busy already with JCs and the garage in question. Anybody who lives around there knows what its like to drive up the Rathbeale around Christmas with shoppers going to JCs, imagine…

I dunno what the traffic will be like during the day but for an early morning shop it's great.

The traffic going into Swords village will be terrible, Friday afternoon was quite heavy. On the plus side the one in Rathbeale Road was quite empty the last few days. Once Aldi opens there will be more distribution of shoppers between the three so they won't all be as congested as one in Rathbeale has been. And Tesco are also opening in Airside/Holywell, how many supermarkets does Swords need? Still it will be good to have competition, hate Dunnes's and Super Value.

Could not see Fingal Co Co ever allowing that as it would become a rat run between Forest Rd and Dublin Rd.

I was thinking more about pedestrian/bike access, not car access.
