Waterford Crystal staff back rezoning plan

WORKERS at Waterford Crystal are backing the firm’s plans to rezone lands used by its sports and social club for industrial use.

At least 10 last-minute submissions were made to Waterford City Council yesterday ahead of a 4pm deadline for recommendations on and objections to the proposed rezoning of the 25 acres of land for industrial use. Three submissions were received last week.

A council official said the submissions received by post yesterday will not be opened until this morning and a senior official would be making a report on the matter.
