Strange time of year for a shop like that to close!

I suppose that with so little footfall there and supermarkets selling Yankee candles, it was only a matter of time

I would guess the lady is retiring?

The decline and fall of Market St. is sad to see. Fifteen years ago the place was buzzing.

A number of weapons have been seized following an affray in Clonmel.

Three men have also been arrested by Gardaí this morning in connection with the fracas, which happened at a housing estate in the town last Tuesday afternoon.

Machetes, baseball bats, knives and hurleys were used during the altercation.

From Tipp FM news....Bianconi drive the estate.

Law and order is gone out the window in this country.

Bianconi Drive is usually a fairly peaceful area.

raclle

Scumbags throwing rocks from the overhead Powerstown bypass even though lads are currently working on the road.

it sounded kind of like the men involved were in bianconi drive looking for someone maybe, I don't know the estate that well but I'm sure all the details will be reported in the paper when they appear in court for their suspended sentences.

If 3 were apprehended I wonder how many there were in total

Anyone using clonmel waste for bins that can advise on their charges?

Looking for info on the standing charge and also what weights are included in this and finally what th per kilo charge if the bin is over the limit!!

Thanks for any info!!

julyjane

I pay a basic charge of about €26 a month for collection of both bins every fortnight. This covers a certain weight and if it's over the permitted weight the charge is something like €1 per 10kg the next month. My bin is always full and overflowing and the most I've ever paid was about €27.50. I don't have a brown bin either.

All 3 are from the estate.

It depends on where you live I’d say. As far as I know, we still just pay a set amount for the year. I think some of their trucks don’t have the facility to weigh the bins, but maybe that’s changed more recently

what is happening on the bypass, a new lane? but it will still bottleneck at the roundabout. i don't think therre is room for a new lane. Big delay when we drove it last week

No new lane - the whole thing is just being resurfaced

Its being resurfaced from the roundabout on the cahir side of Woodies to the Moangarrif roundabout.I think the work will go on until the end of March 2020

cml387

I thought maybe they might make another roundabout at the Heywood Road.
It's still dangerous and some drivers coming down from Abbott still insist on turning right across the traffic even though right turns are forbidden at that junction entering from the north.

Wouldn't have thought that speeding up traffic was the object of the exercise.

That's a fairly staggered junction would a roundabout be feasible? You wouldn't have people chancing their arm turning right there if the the cashel road roundabout wasn't such a disaster from 4 till 6 which hopefully the road works will help resolve.

When those roadworks hit the road between the cashel and Fethard roundabouts all hell will break lose in terms of traffic at peak times.

I think all hell has already broken loose.

I take your point about the junction. It was staggered when the bypass was built to avoid the danger of traffic going straight across.

The bypass is some joke the last few days. Totally unnecessary disruption at what should be a busy time for traders in & around the town.

I avoid it like the plague lately and will do until its sorted which is at least another 4 months away

Just heard they are postponing roadworks on the bypass until Christmas is over - what took them so long to work that one out.

Who ever is in charge of the works would want to check out the work already completed before letting them recommence. The new surface doesn't seem to be anywhere near as good as the old one. It's "bumpy" and there is a section on it heading towards Cahir that seems unfinished and has loose stones on it.

Since the end of September apparently.

Just drove it & thought the same. Used to be smoother

The first stretch of "new" road starting from the cahir road roundabout to just before the turn off to the heywood road is poor enough, theres already a sizable divot at one part of the road and is bumpy throughout. That being said the new parts down near powerstown and tesco are nice and smooth, all in all not good enough however.

Amazed me to see them working on the road in the dark with only the lights of their work vehicles.
