I wonder is all this because of too high rentals? Personally, and assuming O'B's is also going, personally I think it's time now for a decent restaurant, something thats lacking in WW. Surely with the cinema open late in the evenings there is enough footfall to make a decent restaurant viable? Maybe even bring in the Sushi Restaurant from outside? Just a thought.

Cazale wrote: » I never thought that butchers was great quality tbh. Crafty angels is another unit in the whitewater that shut just before Christmas too. A few places are opening soon in the town. Newbridge motor company is opening where Matthew/Des Kellys was. Work is ongoing in the Newbridge Retail Park where SuperValu is. A pharmacy and Domino's pizza are going into separate units.

What is it about Newbridge? No Domino's, no ALDI ( must be one of the very few decent sized towns in the country without one ). Speaking of Des Kelly, what happened there? We got carpet off them, and have to say was very happy with their service.

Domino's is part of same complex and isn't it currently being fitted out, next to costa? Des Kelly stores have been revamped and I would suspect that the old Newbridge location wasn't suitable for the new look.

I read this thread and one thing that no one seems to have spotted is that Newbridge is perfect for a one way system around the town. Traffic lights could be eliminated freeing up actual movement of cars. The town would only need lights at the entrance to the town to get on the one way system. It would also stop all traffic converging on one area of the town and spread the whole traffic loading equally across the road network, this would create passing trade in areas of the town that are under utilitised currently (i.e. giving passing trade)

Drove across to Caset's and lo & behold, the blokes who washed the vehicles in Finlay's are now across in Casry's. Finlay's stopped manual vehicle washing altogether?
