What’s the best way to tell area residents about plans for a new asylum shelter nearby?

“I think it’s reaching a tipping point, that me and like-minded colleagues have been banging the drum for so long saying, we need to try something different, rather than keep doing the same.”
Even before councillors blundered and failed to pass a local plan for Phibsboro, some local residents had been knocking around the idea of inviting experts in to draw up a grand vision for the area.
You know the old Phibsboro Shopping Centre? With the ugly brutalist concrete tower? When it’s torn down, should what replaces it be taller or shorter?
