2bees Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Work has started on the re-development (the plans look great - retirement goals, for sure) We go to Port Soderick quite often and I’m a little bit worried about the amount of earth (and trees) they are moving from the area underneath the footpath that leads from the beach to Marine Drive, I’m not a structural engineer but I imagine the supports that the stairs are built on need to be supported. The men in the digger and dumper truck weren’t wearing hard hats yesterday and if the cliff became unstable and collapsed, I dread to think what would happen. Who checks these things for safety?

Difficult to confirm on planning, as there have been so many applications there over the years. This seems to be the latest dated.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bees Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Yes, that's the one I've been looking at too. Pop down and you'll see what I mean about the excavations - bat shit crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still will be I hope, it isn't creating a throughroad. It is mainly sea life and they will just go alittle further along the coast and return when it's quiet. Have to say, it looks a nice development. Is it Dandara? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all nature can move, unless it is a triffid a plant cannot, pupae cannot. it is not as easy as jumping from one user account to another on here you know The actual glen, surrounding woodland and the cliffs have a very good selection of wildlife. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy from the estate was checking out the big hole that appeared on the walkway, but I am not sure if they own the actual plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does, but the new building seems to be covering the footprint of the old buildings so shouldn't interfere too much. It would be good to see it brought to life again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
