Residents urged to fight plans to build new town

THE majority of residents who live near the location of a proposed new town, west of Cork city, firmly oppose the plan — and must lobby their politicians, a newly formed action group strongly advised.

Local residents have been urged by the newly formed Annaghmore Action Group, to send their objections to Cork County Council ahead of an October 17 deadline for submissions to a draft county development plan.

The local group plans to oppose plans for the construction of a new town at a site at Annaghmore, between Innishannon and the village of Halfway.
