Clonmel Thread

Maymack

Applegreen have objected to An Bord Pleanala to the redevelopment of Amber filling station on the Waterford Road. These objections should not be allowed. Obviously appealing because there will be more competition for them.

Standard practice I would think, goes on all the time in business.

I would have thought that the time to lodge an objection was when planning is first submitted. I sincerely hope that the objection is overruled.

Hi ,anyone here living in Clonmel Estate with grass not been cut in a long time?

The new Mayor of Clonmel says the town has many projects that need to be pushed forward.

Fine Gael’s Garret Ahearn was elected unopposed at yesterday’s Clonmel Municipal District AGM.

The newly elected Councillor was supported by Cllrs Michael Murphy and Siobhan Ambrose, in a pact that will see five of the six members wear the chains – with Independent Cllr Niall Dennehy excluded.

Which Clonmel estate is this? We have a residents committee and contribute 20 euro a year for all the green spaces to be cut.

Sorry, don't know the details, I believe the council will contribute if there is a sum collected.
I'll see if I can find out from one of the committee.

I'm sure he hopes the position of Mayor will help his chances in the Dail election if it happens in the next 12 months. Of course that assumes he stays on the Fine Gael ticket as apparently he is one of the candidates under review by FG HQ after a poor performance in the local election. The Mayor gig will make it harder for them to drop him now.

Everyone is a winner it seems. Except Niall Dennehy

I see the park run is moving from Powerstown Park to the blue way...does anyone know why ?? I would have assumed the other people walking, the people on bikes etc would be an issue, not to mention how it floods a good bit !!

I thought that was for the one day only?

Maybe, whatever I read on Facebook made it appear like it was a permanent move, not sure though !!

Looks like it's permanent:

Possibly a mistake in my opinion. With the existing 50-odd runners it may work but if the event gets more popular and the blueway also gets more traffic then something will have to give. I don't think that the path is wide enough for runners, walkers and cyclists all sharing the same space.

I also think it’s a mistake. That path is busy at weekends with family in particular. It’d be a shame to discourage them from using it. The racecourse was great and very safe for parking and especially for large groups. And the circular route wide enough for groups to run together and overtake if necessary.

It seems like a bad move, I wonder what the reason is for it. I’m always put off going to the park run by the amount of photographs they post on Facebook. The last thing I’d want is a few photos of my red faced self huffing and puffing along a 5k route to be posted to social media.

Thanks for the replies, I hope it’s not permanent, I also think it’s a mistake to move to the blueway !!

Yesterday they said on Facebook "2nd last time in the race course tomorrow..." so I guess that it;s permanent. Shame as I had always hoped to run it there someday.

Mr. Guappa

I liked the racecourse too, the hill (x2) was a nice test. I guess it's a bit out of town and maybe they are hoping to attract more runners by moving it into the town? I'm also skeptical about the move.

I'd imagine the start will be at area where the blueway briefly splits in two, just up from Dunnes? Presumably it will be an out and back route? If so, the 5k would be down almost to Fairyhouse and back.

Look to be legit.

It could cause a lot of traffic issues with regular Blueway users.

Park run is 5km, takes 45 mins at most - at the moment there are a maximum of 50 people attending - shouldn’t give too many users difficulty at 9.30am on a Saturday morning.

I’m not sure why they have changed - I work most Saturdays so can’t attend but I think any initiative that gets people moving is a good thing.

I agree with people who think it's a bad idea, at least the path has been widened down that way so might not be too bad. What's the story though with running/walking in powerstown park in the evenings, drove in there a couple of times recently only to see signs saying it closes at 4.30 even though it was well after that time when I went in there, I didn't see anyone else around or any cars so I drove off to run somewhere else couldn't take a chance on them locking the gate while I was inside.

There’s work being done at the racecourse so park run has to move out for a couple of months. When the work is completed park run will be moving back.

Rather than move to the bypass again the blueway is being used.

I walked the Mayor’s Walk for the fast time last week and was wondering how it got it name? Anybody have any idea?

Not sure about the signs but at this time of year it is normally open all day due to the greater light availability !! I would say you could chance it !!

Does anyone know where I can buy wood around Clonmel, somewhere other than Woodies?

Not looking for anything special, just some plywood sheets and some 2x4s, pine or deal, etc.

Chadwicks for the sheets of ply. They would have the 4 by 2 as well and so would Pollards sawmills.

All in all

As said Pollards, when I was getting a good bit of stuff a couple years ago they were significantly cheaper for ply and timber lengths. Also delivered for free.
