Proposed Rezoning Ellis Yard -for a new Travellers Halting Site
At Monday night’s meeting of Cork City Council I strongly opposed the proposal to rezone Ellis Yard. this proposal would allow the provision of an additional 20 bays for caravans on a 2.5 acre site. This is in addition to the 10 Bays already in the Spring Lane/ Ballyvolane Halting site.
The council passed a motion to allow this proposal to go to public consultation.
I strongly opposed this motion and was supported by my ward colleagues Councillor Gosch and Clancy
In my opinion the Council should provide houses in a rural environment for travelling families and not be spending substantial monies on providing Bays which are a short-term solution.
The people of Ballyvolane accepted the present halting site for many years but were opposed to any further development down through the years.
I will continue on your behalf to oppose this proposal. I urge you to voice your concerns regarding rezoning of Ellis Yard by making a submission to Cork City Council Planning and Policy Section on proposed variation No 6 Traveller Halting Sites Ballyvolane.
