THE I I 1 Wednesday Jirfy: 12 1972 Linked squares SoMLfeir slot as IRA bomfes wi Tv r''' t' i for city blast Lon donderry From. PETER HDLDREW in Londonderry A soldier was shot and killed in Londonderry yesterday afternoon, the first since the Provisional IRA ceasefire ended. He was Lance-Bombadier Terence Jones, aged 23, of the 20th Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery, and. came from Wre.Thahi. He was married.

The Provisionals later claimed responsibility for the shooting which followed shortly after two bomb explosions had rocked the city Lance-Bombardier Jones was on patrol in Great James Street, at the scene of the first explosion, where soldiers were clear 1 ing the wreckage of a flower, shop. A single shot was fired from the direction of Creggan Street and he fell. The bomb had been placed Army reinforcements arriving in Belfast yesterday. Dublin pique at Whitelaw By our Dublin Correspondent Ground Stricter precautions rail safety By MICHAEL MORRIS Planning approval was given in Manchester yester- day to the first of four schemes which will eventually complete the development of a series of pedestrian squares leading from the neo-Gothic town-hall to the Irwell. Originally, the idea was to drive a Napoleonic pro-cess kraal way through old property between Albert Square, which contains the town hall, and Crown Square next to the river.

This has been rejected in favour of the more intimate concept of linked pedestrian squares among new tall buildings. Already, this has been largely carried out among fairly high buildings between Deansgate and the Irwell. The latest move to continue the process between Deans-gate and Albert Square has come with yesterday's outline approval for a 12-storey block, an eight-storey block, and the laying-out of a traffic-free square. This section will be the Queen Street area, which will also have showrooms, a church hall, public-house, restaurant, and basement car-parking. Pedestrians will be able to walk from a remodelled Albert Square, through a gap between two proposed developments, and into a series of precincts.

To reach the Crown Square side they will have to continue down a traffic-free Brazen-nose Street, and cross through the Deansgate traffic, or pass over Deansgate on a footbridge. If choosing the latter route, they will have arrived at Deansgate 15 feet above the street because of the elevation of the squares. Pedestrians can already reach Crown Square from Deansgate by way of Spinnmgfield and Dean's Court. Yesterday, the city finance committee further refined the plan by approving a scheme, costing 42,000, for turning Crown Square into a traffic-free precinct. Planning consent was also given yesterday for the creation of a lake and a hill on a 60-acre site near the Mersey at Chorlton-cum-Hardy.

The McAlpine company is to extract sand and gravel for the M63 motorway which it is building near by. About 30 acres will become a yachting and fishing lake, with shingle beaches and a concrete ramp for boats. The other 30 acres will be used for controlled tipping and eventually for landscaping to form a hill for recreation and picnics. TMio Hnvarnfnont rvf ui Trier!
