Good morning! The very mention of the word bins really gets people fired up! Thank you to everyone who responded to our newsletter on Tuesday. We had loads of responses – and even a letter. The letter touched on some great points which we are in the process of following up with the relevant agencies. But one thing that has struck us this week is that Armagh had hopes of becoming the 2025 UK Capital of Culture but it doesn't have a functioning tourist office; it hasn't for quite some time. You'll be greeted with weeds quicker than a helpful pointer in the direction of any of our tourist destinations...We've covered St Patrick's Trian, and plans to redevelop it for years (eight of them) , but nothing has come to fruition. The car park is lying dormant but at least parking isn't an issue in any of our town centres...And the youth hostel has not re-opened since it shuttered at the very beginning of the pandemic. For an area pushing tourism, it's not quite the right kind of vibe. There's plenty we have been speaking to people about; many of you, the readers, have been telling us. We've a raft of questions in the ether so we will hopefully have more answers in the coming days.Until then, on with the news. PS. Have a great weekend.
