Part of the County Managers recommendations was to rezone Stylebawn House, a Protected Structure, in the centre of Delgany for extra housing and some shops. This was rejected by the Councillors and it has reverted to its previous low density zoning. Also Councillors voted to remove any possibility of shopping development on the large IDA site. ‘I was very against shops there as I felt it would result in vacant shops in the centre of…

Mitchell wants progress on Harbour site

Posted by | Greystones | No Comments

Mitchell Delighted that Greystones Marina will open in April 2013

Posted by | Greystones | No Comments

The opening of this marina will provide excellent safe berthing for locals and visitors and will be a major boost to the town. Unlike many harbours it can be entered at all stages of the tide which is an important advantage. Many people expressed interest in berths at a meeting early in 2012 and I expect that at least 70 spaces will be taken in 2013. ‘It will also bring many visitors as boat owners keep asking me when they can visit Greystones’ said Cllr Derek Mitchell. Greystones Harbour currently…
