>Cork County Council has no intention of compulsorily acquiring any residential buildings as part of this scheme,” it said.
>“Compulsory purchase orders are only used as a mechanism of last resort to ensure the delivery of a continuous route. Every effort will be made to avoid the use of CPOs.”
>We put this to Noreen Ring, one of the organisers of the campaign against the greenway.
>Ring said: “Well, I suppose ‘homes’ is not just the physical homes that we live in. It’s future homes, it’s homes where planning permission is already approved.”
>Ring lives with her parents, who are landowners on the draft route, and hopes to build a house on the family’s land in the future.
Typical nimbyism
I had a conversation with an elder recently about some re routing the local authority were making in the area to encourage safer travel. Her argument was basically that the person making the decision is a man who cycles a bike. Not a board of engineers, a planning department or a multidisciplinary team who have spent months monitoring the traffic levels and examining all the potential dynamics, but a singular man who cycles a bike.
I had a look over the route of the old railways there. There are substantial parts of it where it has been completely obliterated. The line closed in the 1930’s but the destruction of the alignment largely took place from the 60’s on. This was a major failure on behalf of CIE as they should have acted to preserve the route – which I guess was largely lost through adverse possession as is usually the case.
I have to laugh though at the campaigners saying that the land was in families for generations though.
The usual stuff, local landowners have decided to create a fake panic in order to drive up the amount the government thinks it needs to give them to shut up.
How else are you going to make these good things happen ?
