To: Bunclody Town Residents, Estates surrounding the Town and elsewhere. People as far as Killmyshal and more rely on doctors, schools etc. We need your support and also Council, the Government and local councillors can help make this happen.
Help Our Town of Bunclody
(PLEASE SHARE THIS PETITION) (Paper petition also available)
To Wexford County Council and Housing Minster James Browne/ The Government
We are making this petition in regards to the land zones to build 800 houses in the Bunclody Town/area from 2027-2034+ and to get funding for town's services
While homes are needed and we support to build houses, this number is to high for the towns already struggling services and the housing zones are all to compacted into the areas marked (Doctors, small fire station, school capacity etc etc at risk) and a higher risk of road traffic accidents and speeding as we already facing that issue too which a plan to link the N80 road to R746 and the R746 to other roads will be alot more dangerous than a help to the town and it would not be worth the risk.
We call to remove these ideas for the roads and try come up with safer ideas and reduce some housing in some zones while still supporting to provide homes but remove areas J B C E D due to Road saftey issues as most of these zones are located to a playschool and up the road from a secondary school that is on the R746 and above reasons. We strongly support everyone to have a home, many of us know someone who has faced homelessness, but we should have the proper services to provide for the town and for any future houses while not exceeding capacity so the town is not at risk and safer roads
We have a proposal for The County Council and The Government
• Any zones of land taken off the plans, the planned funding given by government etc for those lands, material etc should be given towards doctors, schools, fire station etc to extend and hire staff as time goes on, we support to provide housing but also use funding for the towns services and also still provides jobs for contractors as they also need to earn wages.
• There needs to be more smaller homes as some residents in the town live in larger households and on their own in the town and paying extra rent for rooms not in use.
• There is also larger families who need bigger homes but also smaller homes too. There should be bungalows built for anyone with disabilities or physical issues as a two storey house would not help them.
We petitioned to remove some zones due to the fact of road saftey and that there has been attempts to improve roads, extend schools etc over the years and it has not started or repeatedly delayed. And we respectfully ask to remove some zones of land as we know the road issues and school capacity etc will not be addressed until after houses are built in future as we have seen that issue over the years in most counties and damage is already done. We are NOT Anti-Housing. We strongly ask the government and council to help provide infrastructure first as best as possible while listening to our concerns.
We also have a low amount of buses for schools and public transport and we also believe it will not facilitate the large population increase and a very low number of Gardai.
(NOT to deny someone a home)
We also have a number of points to propose regarding road saftey, they will be written on paper and put on this website too and be sent along with the petition.
Updates are down below.
We hope our concerns are met but also providing homes so people can have a home and start a life and improving services etc too.
Thank you
Kind regards

Residents of Bunclody:
Why is this important?
We hope to get as much support as possible as this will affect everyone even in the future for other generations. The town will struggle more as it does not have the larger amount of service's needed and these should be implemented before any housing comes in
We hope to achieve as many as signatures as possible.
Open to individual residents to sign (Meaning: more than 1 person living in a household can sign as it affects all of us individually)
