Lisduggan Shopping Centre to be redeveloped.

mike65

And not a minute too soon frankly. It always was an eyesore and not just cos of all the shell suits.

http://www.waterford-news.ie/news/story.asp?j=18310

The multi-million revamp by city developer Noel Frisby will change the face of shopping in Lisduggan forever if his plans to partially demolish the existing centre and build a new one over three levels gets the ‘thumbs up’ for planning.

The proposed centre will spread from its current position on Brown’s Road right up to Church Road and the neighbouring Bank of Ireland premises which is on the cards for demolition as part of the ambitious plans.

Tesco and Heaton will remain on as anchor tenants but the centre as is stands will see major development and expansion on a phased basis.

Completed, it will have a total of 32 units including the anchor tenants, a new community library, the re-located Bank of Ireland, Permanent TSB, two retail warehouses and three restaurants… and a general new mall area.

Car parking will increase from the current 383 spaces to 907 while a road link will be put in place from Brown’s Road to Church Road.

Mike.

Sounds good, whether or not it will get the "thumbs up" is another questioN!

how could they refuse. the place now as it is looks like it is gonna collapse on itself

Well the only reason I can think of would be resident groups complaining that nearby residents would have to find an alternative place to shop while this redevelopment is going ahead?

Not as bad as the amount of scumbags who just hang out side the place everyday. Always see them shouting abuse at the security gaurds and blocking peoples entry into the shopping center.

That whole area could do with a major overhaul , Although in my opinion even if the place was done up with the amount of scumbags living up there , it`d be wrecked after a few months anyway , I could be worng but I dunno it seems to be a complete scumbag hang out .

Was driving in there a couple of months ago and a scumbag was standing in bank of ireland car park with a hurl and some stones pegging the stones down onto cars. If i wasnt a small woman i would have turned the hurl no him ha ha

Suppose kids around there have nothing else better to do. Nobody seems to be doing anything for them. Mind you the guy who built the housing estate around there recieved a medal from the council for doing it.
As for punishment for the scumbags with there hoodies, they should be brought off to america and dropped off in the middle of harlem our down-town detroit for a day. Then we shall see tough they are.

Step up Serial Objector, and Galway native, Brendan McCann.

Has single handedly held back waves of progress in the city.

Which city? Waterford or Galway?

Here is something he has gotten in the way of. He is known as the scourge of development in waterford. People have been giving out about him on boards.ie before

That just about says it all.

McCann objected to the metropole development aswell. Quote from news and star:

"In a hard-hitting objection, Brendan McCann criticised the design of the new development for having “little architectural merit” and also “poor residential amenity” because of overshadowing and overlooking between blocks”.

And instead of the new eight-storey hotel and three apartment blocks, he advocated that the existing and derelict Metropole hotel be refurbished and renovated because of its potential to that area of the city. The multi-million €uro plans for the site were originally submitted in December."

:rolleyes:

If you're looking for a crew, let me know. I'd have the stomach for it.

We could throw him in the back of a van, drive him to Gaawwwwlway, throw him into the building site that is Eyre square and bury him alive in cement.

How would you like that development Brendan?

He should **** off back to Gaaawwwwlway and wreck that city!

It Crazy Prices was around now it would make Aldi and Lidl look like the foodhall in Marks & Spencer
