I support the motion, which will be voted on by SDCC councillors on Thursday, seeking to rezone the vacant lands between Lucan Educate Together NS and Fforster Square from its current residential zoning to a new community/open space zoning.

This is the last undeveloped site in the area.

I do not want to see more houses or apartments built here. We don’t need more houses.

I want to see this site developed for community uses.

Particularly I want to the front of this site used to provide much-needed parking and drop-off facilities for the school, to improve road safety and traffic flow on Mount Bellew Way.
