Not another supermarket though, with Lidl, Aldi, Dunnes & Supervalu there's enough. There's not one reasonably priced clothes shop in the whole town.

It was put in the hands of Arup but we've heard nothing since the public consultations.I thought the idea was to have it ready to coincide with the opening of the bypass-at least we are seeing progress with that. Nothing started on the flood defences either despite money being available,the overhaul of the main drainage scheme has gone quiet too.

About time we saw the building being let out of their greedy grasp.
EverythingGood wrote: » Really? About fcuking time, DS are a disgraceful. Paddy Kavanagh announced years ago that Iceland was going in there but it never happened. I'd say that building needs to be completely knocked and rebuilt, it was falling down 15 years ago, so I can't imagine what state it is in now.
