Thomas Street

Indeed Thomas Street looks well, but what the f**k are those ESB poles and cables still hanging on the new pedestrianised street? They probably want to be the first to rip up the slabs (before gas and water do) when they eventually remove the obsolete poles? Just look at the cowboy job they did to the new paved footpath at the entrance to the North Munster Masonic Centre opposite King John’s Castle! This temporary tarmac infill is now permanent as it is at least a year old! 😡

I cant get my head around that either!, the undergrounding of services is one of the first jobs carried out in projects like this is it not?:confused: Theres still 1 or 2 of those poles knocking around on Bedford Row aswell even though its now a year since the paving works finished up. One of them is inside the hoarding of the savoy construction site, they’re using it to hang extra lighting (not really needed anymore!) and security camera’s, it should be removed fairly shortly. Hopefully the lines on Thomas Street are no longer live and its just a matter of removing them, its just needless clutter. It really would be shambolic if the opportunity to underground the cables was missed!:mad:
