Cruises Street getting a mini facelift

Poxyshamrock

It was announced today that from September, Cruises Street will have a Saturday market (probably similar to what was on Bedford Row years ago).

There's also plans to cover the Quimper Square area (by New Look and Hickeys).

This could be great for the street, it really needs some life on the street.

If it attracts the crowds then O'Connors or Quigley might open late on Saturdays.

Do they close early on a Saturday?Did the Milk Market traders object to something a while back?Maybe it was Christmas Market

No, in my reading of the article (obviously only galnced at it ) I thought this was something that would begin as the regular Saturday market would end and people might hang around later in the day.

I suppose my hope was that whatever about bringing life back into the city during the day something needs to be done for the city once shops/offices close. The place is close to being a ghost town after 7ish.

The Sunday Milk Market is very underused,A Friday 3 to7 or 8 trading stalls on Cruises street or by Penneys would be great
