The demolition of long abandoned
house foundations and the backfilling of the area to make a new green area is
an important step in the renovation of a South Wexford estate according to a
local County Councillor. Cllr Mick
Roche, who had highlighted the dangers of the unfinished constructions in the
past, welcomed the move and said that it was only the beginning.
"Hazelwood is a prime
example of an unfinished boom estate that was left to rot after the
crash," Cllr Roche said, "The estate was left with boarded up houses,
abandoned footings which were exposed and battered internal roads. I'm glad to say that the council has moved to
rectify one of the most pressing concerns; potentially dangerous house
foundations which would have eventually resulted in an accident."
"Wexford County Council are
now removing these footings, backfilling the site and converting it to a new
communal green area. The hard working
Bridgetown Community Group and local residents need to be praised for the work
they put in to ensure that these steps were taken."
"The next step is to have
the villages boarded up houses renovated and utilised. For too long this community, and many like
it, have been ignored. That day has to
be over and I will fight to represent the forgotten families and communities of
South Wexford on the new County Council."
