Re: Houses Ballymastone Disaster

In terms of what could have been this isn't the worst solution. Didn't SF / PBP / DL want 1200 houses put up but with no amenities e.g. sports putches/ running track, skateboard ring or park?

Re: Online Petition To Remove Beverton/Ballisk Walkway Gate

While I would not be ok with this, what I have seen recently is not something I am pleased with. The railway bridge beside Ballisk Way is a common spot but it is doen within 50...

Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows what the construction site just off Hearse Rd is for? I am talking about the site just a bit past the petrol station i.e. not the Distributor Road. Is that the new housing development of 500 houses?
