Decision not to rezone area welcomed

WATERFORD Council of Trades Union has welcomed the decision of the City Council not to rezone Wyse Park in the city centre.

The announcement came after a campaign to save the park garnered widespread public support. The group has now renewed its plea to the council not to proceed with the rezoning of New Street, which lies adjacent to Wyse Park.

The proposed rezoning of New Street from residential to commercial use is intended to pave the way for the construction of what the groups believes will be the “grossly disproportionate and inappropriate Brewery Shopping Centre”.
