Over 2,000 people have signed an online petition to stop the sale of Courtown Woods to a private developer.
The group, Protect Courtown Woods, have launched the appeal following the news that the forestry land is set to be included in any deal for the nearby Adventure & Leisure Centre. They have called on Wexford County Council to put an end to the sale as the land is a crucial biodiversity hotspot and one of the few remaining forested areas in the locality. Sinn Fein Councillor for Gorey Fionntán Ó Súilleabháin says there's renewed interest in the woods since the pandemic began last March: [audio wav="https://www.southeastradio.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/fionntan.wav"][/audio]
