‘Local retail centre’ shot down in councillors’ unanimous vote

PLANS for a “local retail centre” in Cork’s western suburbs have been shot down after councillors voted unanimously againstrezoning.

All 27 councillors who attended Monday night’s council meeting voted against the recommendation of planners to rezone the site off the Melbourne Road to facilitate the development.

The project at a site near the Rossbrook estate and the former Tennis Village faced opposition from RGDATA and local business owners.
