AWARDS which recognise inspirational women across Bolton and the North-west are being extended to the rest of the country and the rest of the world for 2021. In the first week of opening for nominations, the She Inspires Awards have received more than 120 nominations including from as far afield as Australia. The seventh annual awards are being held at Whites Hotel on November 25. They were originally started by Gulnaz Brennan through the Women in Neighbourhoods’ movement to honour women across the borough in every area of life. They have grown each year although last year had to be held virtually because of the pandemic and were staged at the University of Bolton.
Three years after first submitting plans for a hotel on a prominent disused site opposite Wexford Bridge, brothers Colm and Anthony Neville of CoAnt Developments have been given the green light to construct the landmark building.
Wexford County Council has granted planning permission with conditions for the hotel with penthouse apartments and an underground car park at Commercial Quay after recently asking the developers to scale back the project and submit a revised design.
After reviewing the altered plans, senior planners have approved the revised design of the hotel which will be part five, seven and eight storey, fronting onto Commercial Quay with retail units and restaurants at Charlotte Street, 10 residential units with balconies on the upper levels, 133 bedrooms on the second, third and fourth floors and 105 car parking spaces at basement and ground floor level.
