They'll have to put a roundabout at that junction so, it's already bad.

There's a roundabout no more than 50m away. :eek:

True but trying to turn right coming out of the graveyard, or right coming out of the industrial estate is a nightmare.

They'll have to completely reword that road traffic wise if they are going to bring even more traffic into the area, be amazed if this gets planning without that being a requirement.

Probably be better if it use the same entrance as aldi

Still have the same problems though with traffic volume.

Maybe having the entrance and roundabout at the Hebron/Graveyard turn would be better.

I'd stick it at the entrance to O'loughlins GAA and the road into the Hebron. Keep it simple.

Mac donalds will have some objections to that :-)
What's happening yo the station over at hotel kilkenny. Someone say there was a fire or is it just a refurbishment is going on

There was a fire and it's been refurbished now

The shop had only been refurbed just over a year ago too....

I thought Applegreen had plans for the station at blackmill st.?

I have a sneaky feeling that the Callan Rd garage is being rebranded. I know there was a fire but today they took off all the signs from the canopy and even dug up the signage. Spose we'll have to wait and see. Topaz on tge waterfowl Rd aren't complaining. ☺

Heard that but did they buy it or was it just speculation?

Looks like Callan Rd. Esso is being rebranded as a Topaz

I would have thought that was a very busy spot there so Esso would have been keen to keep it or the franchise on board.

Edit: I just remembered Topaz ad taken over someone in Ireland and sure enough it was the Esso stations so the rebranding makes sense now.

Is this the start of the end of the Esso brand in Ireland..?

Doubt it'll be an applegreen generally they don't move far from motorways.
Regarding the Hebron turn they need to do the same as mc Donalds bollard the middle of the road and force traffic left and down to the roundabout. I can never understand idiots trying to turn right out of that place I go left around the roundabout and on past them as they sit there trying to turn right...........

Certainly correct on that and its an awful handy outlet to stop into on the way to Clonea Strand for camping

Also if you look at Apple Greens website and look at their service station locations the vast majority are not on motorways or even near them

Its a great shop but man its a pain in the hole that the forecourt is so small, people park like idiots around it constantly blocking people in. I very rarely use it for this reason

People parking like idiots, I don't believe you.

I don't think the forecourt is particularly small - it's more that it is a really busy spot.
