Cork residents vow protest over snub for renewal funds

Residents of a Cork suburb have warned they will take to the streets if their area is not added to a tax incentive scheme designed to encourage regeneration.

Anger has been expressed in Blackpool after it was omitted from the scheme, especially as other areas further away from the city centre have been included.

The Living City Initiative, a tax incentive scheme designed to encourage city- centre living and to promote the regeneration of residential and commercial buildings in designated areas, is accepting applications until 2020.
