This is literally a game canger for Ashbourne, in 100 years time, on our towns 300th birthday, our ancestors will applaud the dicision made on zoning this 80 acres for park land. It will becone a peoples park in what will be the centre of the town in the following decades. 5 local representative and the community came together and will deliver the zoning for this park. It is a sign of our democracy working for the people, by putting people first!
Independent data and recommendations from sources including the UN, state that open space and park land is as important to a town as housing, comercial areas and jobs. This country is facing a housing crisis and part of that solution is to put in the social infrastructure as well as housing and learning from the mistakes of the past were high density housing hasn't worked.
The park will become an important carbon store and source of good quality air from tree coverage and other climate mitigation on the 80 acre site
