Compliments to Lexington on his excellent ‘review’ of Blackpool Shopping Centre and Retail Park. It does leave Mahon Point way behind.
To my mind, one of the greatest features of the area, is that the old part of Blackpool, Thomas Davis Street, Great William O’Brien Street and such, have still been able to retain their character whileall around them, things have changed beyond belief.A-ha wrote:Thx securityman, I heard Dixons are keeping an eye on a Cork location, but I believe more of a city centre property, Acadamy St. or the Coal Quay perhaps? And for anyone in the know, what about the crematorium?? ]
Dont worry, A-ha.
It will be there in time for you.I think UCC should be prohibited from any further development in the area around the College.
They have suceeded in reducing Western Road, College Road and other adjacent areas from vibrant places where families lived to a mass of ‘outbuildings’, now dead once the College closes.
I know there are one or two exceptional developments over the past few years but these do not outweigh the damage, I think, they have done.@lexington wrote:
Yes – around and to the east of the ESB Power Station.
I think the social housing location is more to do with the availability of land in the docklands with respect to maintaining a distinctive commercial quarter further west along the quays – as set out in the Cork City Development Plan 2004. It will still compose a integral part of the overall Cork City Docklands Redevelopment.
Is it the triangular plot of land bounded by the Power Station, the Centre Park Road and the Marina, right at the end of the C.P.Road?

CCC have already designated an area further east of the Marina Point area (which has plans to redevelop as a new University Campus and Student Town Centre) to focus on affordable housing. CCC already have 50m euro plans to construct a mix of apartments, houses and duplexes for such use at this location. Construction work is planned for late 2005.
Where is the Marina Point area to which you refer?
I understand that a bid has been accepted by the reciever for the IFI site at Marino Point, It is said that the Port of Cork Company was not successful.
Has anyone heard who the successful bidder was?Lexington is a great source of information to those of us who are not on the ‘inside track’.
Keep up the good work.
