    Re: the ‘deep excavation’, I hope Cappagh Browne are going to leave the pavement as they found it ie. paving blocks back in situ and level, and don’t just bung some tar concoction over the surface and disappear over the horizon.

    A bit off topic, but, assuming i have the right building in mind, that new incinerator is spectacular – I have passed it a few times at both day and night and think it looks great. I never thought I’d say that about an incinerator, but it just shows what can be done if developers/architects put their mind to it.

    …still off topic (sort of), but the Ardley incinerator is a shining example of “the people and the community” rallying together for a common aspiration. United in their worries and concerns…. and them being brushed aside for the pockets of the developers.

    In fact, it is on my list of “decisions that have gone against the community”.

    Still….the developer was happy.
