MARINA PHASE 2 CONSTRUCTION

I saw on JCB trolling around but hardly a hive of activity. As i said before, I will bet the people in the nice houses up on top of the hill area are excited about several years of dust and noise.

I will make this a sticky so we can add to it now and then as things progress.

These pictures were taken on Tuesday 28th June.

This is the only image I have. I can see most of it from my window as well.

Any sign of the gypsy campsite being relocated?
What a blight that is on the Marina development as a whole... You have the cosmopolitan Marina with all the boats, bars, restaurants etc, and directly in your eye line across the Marina is the gypsy site.. It must be a contributing factor to so many, still, empty units.
If the town planners have embraced this development, as clearly they have, and good on them, then why do they not address this absolute blight...
Nothing against gypsies but to my mind, 'Marina developments' and gypsy sites next door to each other gives something of a conflict.

I just took this picture from out of my window. The camp is still there. I had the impression the other day that there were not so many as last year. Or maybe they go elsewhere for summer. There has also been some work scraping out what looks like new streets, so perhaps someone has got their laundered money sorted out for the building of another luxury tourist condominium, which would do away with the camp.

I went past the works yesterday on a bus. The more I think about it, the odder it seems.

I was expecting to see a big hole, to be filled with water and eventually where boats will be moored. Instead, it looks from the pictures as if the level of the land is being raised.

Also, if I was a company building a prestigious multi-tens of millions of Euros project, I would have a big sign up telling everyone about it. But it's all very anonymous.

The marina shining brightly in yesterday afternoon's sun  with the current work area visible in the background. If you look carefully in the middle of the picture, behind the boats, you can see the half finished great wall, which has been in this state now for months.



Here's another picture from round the other side. See that little building with the tiled roof, bottom centre not far from remains of the round storehouse or maybe a windmill base? Someone is living in there.

Didn't there used to be a mexican steak house/restaurant in the middle of that wooded area?  I remember going to one in that general area about 8 years ago: we had my missues sister with us and when we ordered some beers she said (in all seriousness) "but I don't want pop!"... turned out she'd never had Corona beer before

I have scrawled round it on Toms picture.
