Newbridge scheme looks good
By EAMON DILLON
MAJOR developers are closely examining the Action Plan for Newbridge's designated area. Urban Renewal Liaison Officer and Town Clerk Charlie Talbot said that he has had a large number of enquiries. Two of those include proposals for major property developments. In relation to one of them, a request for planning permission has already been lodged.
"There's no doubt about it, there's money looking to be spent in Newbridge," he said. He explained that people making contact include those with property already in the area and those seeking to acquire property. He hoped it would be possible to "marry" the two.
Mr. Talbot added that there is a large demand for both public and private housing in the Newbridge area while it is the biggest shopping town in the county. "I can't think of a town that has more going for it," he concluded.
