    Wouldn't be a fan of them opening on that site to be honest.

    Lidl located only a few mins away, Tesco and shopping centre literally a minute away. No need for it on that site in my opinion.

    The area suffers from traffic issues at various times already as it is, not to mention I dread the thought of people coming out of this new aldi and trying to take a right turn to go back by the CUH, it a manouver which can be tricky as it is never mind if traffic increases again.

    If I was living nearer I would probably put in a pretty strenuous objection .

    How permission can be given for this is unreal. 2 lanes converge into one right outside it, traffic will be far worse

    Seems like a strange decision the garage is busy as its the only one around,i know lehanes are only there while they build another place.

    I think they are clearing the site at the moment

    Just look at the traffic in Mahon Point and you get the idea of how little they plan.

    I was passing here today, and pulled in for a minute - looks like they're working hard. The site is leveled and clear. They have a layer of 'large gravel' down - sorry, don't know the correct term.

    It's a rotten location alright. The rumours are that one or the other are interested in the Lee Garages site on the Model Farm Road now. They'll be on every corner soon.
