Change just one thing about Waterford, what would it be?

The Bowling Alley

I'd bring Ferrybank closer to us with a pedestrian bridge at the tower

Id change the natives negative attitude and their sense of entitlement....:p

Na only joking. I would change all the quay area into a boardwalk with cafes quirky shops small green areas etc, plus build something tourist related over at the silo side of the river.

And how would that improve Waterford? Not everyone can afford to shop in high end stores.

The OP said 'one thing you would change about Waterford', nothing about improving it. deadybai said he'd add a decent clothes shop. Where did you get 'high-end' from?

What was that you said about a negative attitude?

Should change not be an improvement for the better if its not in your mind then you are the one with a negative attitude.

I’d get rid of this ridiculous we suck everywhere else is better ****e you get in Waterford.

I wish there would be a late pub open in the city on weeknights. I know shortts and revs stay open late but somewhere where you can sit down and enjoy a pint after 12. The Woodman used to be a late bar but it's only Fri and sat. Some of us hate crowds so local pubs are my thing mind you I'll find no future wife in these places lol

Of course it should. But you were a bit quick with a negative response to deadybai's post, that was my point. Of course new clothes shops would improve Waterford. Better choices, better value, more shoppers = more money spent.

Put a boardwalk along the Suir from the bridge to the Tower Hotel.

Turn WIT into a university... with university funding.

6,000 more young people in the city studying, partying, working and adding to the vibrancy of life. The IDA would lure in some huge MNCs to Waterford, with top quality,high paying jobs. The additional population would push on the development of the city centre- improved retail and civic spaces, stabilise the hospital as a university hospital.

More of our young people would stay in the region (Waterford, Dungarvan, Tramore, Kilknenny, Carrick, New Ross, Wexford....) , stay to study (we lose about 25% of leaving cert people to Dublin/Cork/Limerick), they would meet their life-partners here, settle down and be close to their family (rather than using skype).... then one of them would spawn a hurling genius and we would win a flippen All-Ireland.

If only FG kept their 2011 manifesto problem to turn WIT into a proper university, that child might already be on his way!

I would get a JCB and level the North Quay, What an ugly welcome into any city.

Finnbar01

I would like to see a university in Waterford with the same caliber as MIT in America.

but then the council would have nothin to get everyones hopes up with every few years.

srsly though flatten the north quay + jurys and watch the price of property in town. would make the place a lot more desirable and remove that enniscorthy vibe goin around. can not believe theyre still there after all these years

Use the blank face of the Ard Ri - project movies, have moving pictures, let everyone know what's coming up - a completely wasted opportunity to promote the city

Give out free blaa vouchers in the local dole office.

Change some things with rough council estates.

Bowlardo

Where to start...
Knock down jurys the other side of the river. Knock down that eye sore on the very same side
Level the quay and all the ****ty car parks and make a board walk the full length from the bridge to the tower.
Fine people on the street for spitting and dressing like absolute scobes

There is so much wrong with the place because of bad planning I think it will is nearly irreversible.
It would be great if there wad massive investment in the port as an alternative to Dublin port.

Some beautiful spots in Waterford county but the city really I a kip. Waterford people are provided probably the Best craic in the country but there is a woeful undercurrent of ****ebags.

Really is crying out for big investment .questions would have to be asked why this isn't happening airport,port,college...no excuses why a multinational couldn't move in there
