Residents ready for court battle to save estate’s green from developers

RESIDENTS are ready to take legal action to save their estate’s green from developers.

The people of Bishopscourt in Cork’s western suburbs agreed over the weekend to hire a solicitor to ensure the green space that has put up for sale can never be built on.

The green, which has been used as a public park since the mid-1960s, was placed on the market last week as part of the sale of Number 1, Park Gate Villas on the Bishopstown Road.
