Yes he is, although generally there on his own so doesn't always get to the phone. You're better off dropping up to him if you can.

I agree, both going and coming from the train station yesterday traffic wsa stopped needlessly for a couple of mintues as only one person needed to cross the road. 2 minutes doesn't sound like much, but it means a significant tailback at peak times. Not sure who you would suggest this to. There is a...

Further update from Corina Johnston.

People are entitled to object and I think many would agree that we need another supermarket. However, many will also agree that Turvey isn't a suitable location. People are entitled to object to planning permission, it's the system that needs looking at when it takes this long to process through ABP.

Matt only works Tuesday to Thursday these days so you won't get him on a Monday.

Further update from Corina Johnson.

Looks as though it will be locked for some time yet. I thought it had been taken over by FCC already, but looks as though the builder of the Rahillion estate was still managing it. It's anyone's guess as to when this will be resolved.

Reported on other groups that FCC are spreading compost on the grass areas. This is due to last until Friday so would expect it to be open again on Saturday. Badly needed as the grass has really struggled to grow for some reason. There is a lot of heavy machinery entering and exiting the site via th...

This is the BP case for the Aldi site. It appears to be still open. It was due to be decided on 20/10/2022, but that hasn't happened or the site hasn't been updated to reflect any decision..

Besides the welcome competition, we could really do with another supermarket to alleviate the congestion in the SuperValu carpark at peak times.

I thought planning permission was valid for 5 years. If so, the planning permission for that site would have expired and will have to be applied for again.

Spoke to a neighbour who identified the cause. It was related to the Virgin Media equipment housed in the steel unit close to the entrance to Beaverstown Golf Club. The neighbour called Virgin who came out the next day. It was a failed bearing in the air conditioning unit fan. That explains why it w...

I'm pretty sure this was a house alarm. It went on for about 3 days. It would stop for a couple of hours and then start up again. It was barely noticeable during the day, but very at night.

Thankfully, it's stopped and hopefully whoever it was got it looked at by an installer.

Has anyone noticed the constant high pitched noise at the tope of Beaverstown Road? It stops for a few hours and then starts again. It has gone all through the night for the last few nights. It's driving us mad. I presume it's someone's house alarm?

Can't say I've noticed much different in terms of flight paths recently. There is one flight path that flies directly over Donabate heading east. It's generally only used if planes are taking off in a westerly direction when they need to turn and head towards the UK/mainland Europe. It really depend...

Try https://rhinohire.ie/. They're just off the distributor road at the turn for The Island Golf Club.

I used Brooks for supplies a few years back. Then I found https://www.jbrownebuildersproviders.com/ based in Lusk. Not only were they cheaper, but also much more reasonable for delivery. Worth a try if you're not aware of them.

Bottom line is that the law has to be enforced. That's the only way some people will take notice. Other countries have less of a problem as they don't just enact laws, they enforce them.

Will the PC boot at all? What error are you getting? Have you tried booting from the disk you have?

If you get the model no. of the freezer or the part number from the fan, you should be able to look it up and purchase on-line. A lot of that stuff is easy enough to replace yourself if you're DIY inclined.

Hi, Got the name of a roofer a while back on another thread. His name was Alan and he did some work for us, he was great. However, the last time I contacted him, he was sick and awaiting a hospital appointment. I've tried contacting him a couple of times since but didn't get a response. Does anyone ...
