Harbour project would be blot on the landscape

IN its defence of the controversial redevelopment of Greystones harbour, Wicklow County Council trotted out the usual clichéd hyperbole about “world class” facilities and a “rejuvenated” facility.

In reality, this is a monstrosity, the proverbial blot on the landscape, totally out of keeping with the essential low-rise character of Greystones village, and it will obscure irreparably the view of the sweep of coastline from Greystones north to Bray Head.

In addition, and to add insult to injury, part of the land being used for this project exploitation is public foreshore.
