Where is Bennets Bridge, on Rockfield Road or the one by Robert Redmonds? The new access, is that a bridge from the site to St Dominics Park?

Is there really a market for ...

1. Perrys Supermarket
2. Supervalu Pettitts
3. Supervalu éile
4. Lidl
5. Aldi
6. Tesco

I suppose Tesco is the only one on that side of the canal and anyone coming in from Ballylinan etc. wont have to tackle the traffic any more.

rameire

Bennetsbridge is a mile out the Kilkenny road, its not really a bridge, it is where Loughmans DOE Garage is.

The only access will be from a realigned re-engineered William Street which is the industrial estate and onto the N78 Kilkenny Road.

I for one think there is a market for All different Brands.
it will stop people like me leaving the town to do the shopping.

Very true, in my case having Aldi & Tesco will stop us travelling to Carlow/Naas for shopping now.

Supervalue will still do well, I'll still use Supervalue for certain items.

Happy Days

Yawns

Glad to see some progress on these. I most likely won't go near the Tesco but it will mean I won't need to go to Carlow, Portlaoise or Naas for shopping. It's be split between Aldi, Lidl and SV.

Technically speaking it could be appealed to An Bord Pleanála if done before the end of this week.

(That's within 4 weeks of the date the permission was granted which was 26th May)

Jebus, that is bad, real small time mentality. There more business the business the town can draw in the better it will be for everyone. Short sighted.
