Has anyone used the new walk in doctos clinic in Princes Street or hear anything about it?
Yes, used it last week, lovely and empty which is probably not their plan but it's new! I have used Manor before and happy with that too but took a chance that this place would be quieter as too sick to be sitting around for ages and chance paid off! They also have introductory offer of 35E until end of Jan when it's going up to 40E to match Manor obviously, they are 50E in Athlone where they don't have competition.
I was going to go today, but I improved a bit so didn't feel the need to. Good to know its there for another time if needed.
There Seems to be a Yoga studio going in next to it as their signage is up there (Flx Yoga) and the coffee shop in the main part where the glasshouse was, Bio Brunch its called, found it on Facebook
Looks like it could be opening very soon.
Only solution,imo is to close centre of road between roundabouts @ kcc and manor west entrance. hence left only on exits from aldi side and mcdonalds side.As poster says create second lane going into town for mcdonalds queue
That Manor junction near the Bookshelf is a joke. Something needs to be done about it. No one can get out from the bookshelf junction and the one to the other side of it. It puts me off going in around there. especially on busy days. I don't know why they can't improve it.
I've always thought that with there being different owners of the properties on either side of the "stream", they don't want to make it too easy for people to support businesses on a different landlord's turf. I could be completely wrong of course, but I wouldn't put it past them. 😛
If one landlord owned both sides, I'm pretty sure that something would be done about the problem. 😁
I'm sure you're not saying our esteemed business class are a bunch of small minded individuals who would block the towns prosperity. I won't mention M&S and Leibher.😀
They just block each other's prosperity, those shopping complexes are like forts, and they'd use cannons if they could. 😛
It's bad but if you are coming from the bookshelf, just turn left and go around the roundabout and come back.
yeah usually what I do now. Wonder how many accidents there have been there!?
They'd almost be better making a 5th exit off the main (Clashlehane?) roundabout that would then feed directly to the Bookshelf/Mr. Price/Soundstore retail park. I agree turning right out of The Bokshelf is virtually impossible and dangerous such are the traffic volumes!
yeah, could use the old road down to it!
I've nothing against Muslims or drive tru fast food consumers, but isn't it typical of the country we live in and the chronic lack of housing when planning is granted for a Drive Tru takeaway and a mosque and is not granted for a housing development.
If you mean the housing estate off the Bracker O'Regan Road, that was granted planning by KCC but appealed to ABP by NIMBY objectors.
I've eaten in Brio Brunch twice now and I've been very impressed both times. The food was excellent and the service was very good. Hopefully they can make a go of it.
I've had a coffee to take away and sat in on Friday afternoon when they first opened. Nice coffee. Wasn't overly impressed with the menu, bit basic and the portions we had were very small. It seemed very bare in there too, very few tables, they could do with filling it ab it more. It was the first day so I'm sure it will change and improve.
Yeah agreed on the decor. The space is too big for the amount of tables and chairs they have in there. It could do with a lick of paint also. The brunch was very nice, probably up there or a little below the roast house.
The Roast House have gone into outside catering now. Renamed their facebook page, 'Top Drawer Catering'.
Anyone notice a homeless man constantly sitting on the electricity box at corner of Denny Street and The Mall? He seems old too
Most of the outdoor seating in The Mall seems to be taken up by men who avail of the local homeless shelters. I feel sorry for them as I believe they have to vacate the shelters during daytime hours so probably have little to do to pass the time except congregate. It doesn't give off a great vibe in the town centre though but I don't know what can be done about it....
Silly that they have to leave the shelters during the day. What is the reason for that? They seem old
You'd be surprised how young these "old" men are. Being constantly in and out of prison and substance abuse has taken its toll on many of them.
Why do they have to vacate the shelters during the day?
I think that's the norm in all homeless hostels. Don't know why...
That's giving them more reason to rob, drink and take drugs and intimidating locals going about their business
He is sat there on Google Maps?
Yes, that's him. He's always sat there
I see grill and thrill are on too good to go .
Probably like Hostels they get cleaned during the day; if you stay at a hostel you get kicked out during the day to allow for cleaning.
