City street to be remodelled at cost of €250,000

A CITY street in Waterford which was cobbled seven years ago is to be remodelled and some stones removed as part of works which could cost up to €250,000.

Waterford’s Hanover Street was revamped in 1999 and paved with cobbles to coincide with the opening of the city’s Museum of Treasures. The area in question runs down by the Granary and links The Quay to O’Connell Street.

But because of accessibility problems and difficulties encountered by elderly people and those with disabilities, it is planned that some of the cobbles will now be removed and part of the area re-paved.
