Summary
[edit]DescriptionDrogheda (5633877973).jpg |
I visited Drogheda on a Monday and the town appeared to be very busy but there are many un-occupied shops on West Street. I also noticed that a number of shops were not open for business (maybe they do not normally open on a Monday) With the expansion of the Irish economy in the 1990s, during the "Celtic Tiger" years, Drogheda became one of the main secondary locations for people who work in Dublin to buy a house, as property prices in the capital became prohibitive for many first-time home buyers. This was aided by the expansion of transport infrastructure in the direction of Drogheda i.e. the Swords and Balbriggan bypasses, the Boyne River Bridge and the increased number of commuter trains serving the town. Partly as a result, the downtown area of Drogheda was redeveloped, and two large shopping centres were established, while several national and international retailers have opened stores. In 2007 the partial pedestrianisation of the town's main street, West Street, was completed. This was not a success from a business point of view and West St. has become a ghost street. On the south quay in the space of the former Lakeland Daries premises (an old industrial area), the Scotch Hall Shopping Centre and the D hotel was completed in November 2005. A new pedestrian bridge extends from the north quay, at Mayoralty Street, into the complex. Phase two of the development, which appears to have stalled, will extend further down along the river front, on the site of the former Irish Oil Cake works. It will have an extension to the Shopping Centre and Hotel, new apartments, cinema, and a riverside plaza. <a href="http://www.streetsofdublin.com" rel="nofollow">www.streetsofdublin.com</a> |
