As the Groody Road is a main link and feeder road for the Limerick Bypass to the University of Limerick and the surrounding technological parks, it is an important area for commuters to travel and stop. Furthermore, the estates adjacent to the Groody Centre have little to no access to local shops, amenities, restaurants and cafes. Investment and support is needed for the current 'Groody Neighbourhood Centre' which should be desginated a 'District Centre' for the Castletroy, or even the 'Groody Valley' area.
The current proposal of student accomodation at the Groody Valley site should include more amenties and cafe/restaurants for the area. Similar to what is proposed for the Towlerton area.
