The Avondhu

Planning submission

Dear Editor,

I hope that the plans submitted to Cork County Council for the development of the site east of the Mill and north of Courthouse Road are unsuccessful in their bid to install yet another large supermarket, plus off-licence.

We already have four supermarkets in the town. How will the arrival of yet another supermarket impact on small independant shops such as our local fruit and veg shop, the butchers, newsagents and the flower shops? Do we want to see their demise?

And more importantly, we are in the middle of an environmental crisis and perhaps councillors and politicians would support actions that will at least limit the further degradation of, if not enhance, our environment - by allowing the land to be planted with native trees and wildflowers and to become a peaceful oasis to walk in when in town.

Yours sincerely, Gillian Cussen, Kilworth.
