The response from this thread regarding the “coffee pods” on Grand Parade – particularly that one outside Bishop Lucey Park, has been very largely negative.
Without going over too much of the same ground again:
does anyone have any updates on them? why has building stalled? are we likely to see a climbdown? I thought a motion regarding them was due to be brought up at ccc meeting recently.

It was brought up at the CCC meeting of March 10th, the City Manager stated that Beth Gail wanted the pods at the current locations, he agreed with her decision and that is the end of the matter as far as he is concerned.
Not only do Councillors have absolutely no say on planning matters but a Spanish dreamer that extracted a huge fee from the taxpayer (remember the last minute change in Patrick’s Street fees?;)) has more say than our junket junkies.
