Don't know the time scale but I thought Aldi had received planning permission for a shop in the same llocation.

I thought Lidl were going into Cornmarket St and Aldi are going into the Elysian?

What will the parking situation be with aldi in the Elysian ? As far as I know the covered parking is for the likes of euro medic , (which you now have to pay for )

We moved into the Elysian last week and the agent didn't know what the parking situation would be. It gets busy enough with euromedic at times.

No. We were told when signing the lease that it had attained permission to open a store and we just enquired where people would park. It'll be handy out.

I have never seen the public car park any where near full, there are in excess of 300 spaces in the public car park if I remember. So are ye enjoying the place, I have been here a number of years now love it still. The manager at reception should be able to tell you what the situation will be, but unlike euro medic I don't really see people driving to Aldi, it would be in my opinion aimed more at the local city centre population.

Yep we're enjoying it alright. I was a bit skeptical about how soundproof etc it would be but it's super quiet in the apartments. We have neighbours all around us and we can't hear a peep. It's a big step up for us space-wise which is great. I didn't expect it to be as populated as it is either, it always looked empty to me! Happy out.

Ya its almost half full now, big change from when I moved in in 2009, there was no one here, but thankfully they have kept the place well. It's very quiet I only have one neighbour thankfully lol. Will be great when Aldi move in. Hope you continue to enjoy living here.

Not the best location compared to city center Cornmarket in my opinion.

Mistaken. There are big Lidl opening soon signs up there.

ComeraghBlue · 02-02-2014 10:26AM

it'll be great for the city centre to have a Lidl. that tesco, paul street is a disgrace.

small, filthy and never enough checkouts open. No other options though in the city centre after 6pm. Lidl usually open until 9pm Mon-Sat
