On the night that campaigner Shane Rowan delivered the signatures of over 6,500 people demanding an improvement to parking in Bray, members of Bray Town Council signed a resolution promising to take land back from Ballymore if work does not begin by the end of April.
The written resolution, handed out during the meeting with the names of all councillors present at the bottom, said that if work on the Florentine did not get underway by the end of April 2008, councillors would instruct the town manager to cease all negotiations with the developer and initiate proceedings to take back their property, with a view to providing much needed car parking in the town centre.'
The council looks with dismay at the continuing and repeated failure of Ballymore Properties to begin their development of the Florentine over 12 years,' it read. We recognise the blight that this has caused in an important retail and trading area of our town.'
Earlier, members received copies of a petition carried out by traders led by Shane Rowan. The Cathaoirleach, Cllr. Bríd Collins said that she had decided to accept the petition and wished to do so without any discussion.
The resolution was signed by Cllrs John McManus, Anne Egan, Ciarán O'Brien and Steve Matthews, as well as Caroline Burrell, Pat Vance, Bríd Collins and John Brady.
Absent on the evening were Cllrs Anne Ferris, John Byrne, Michael Lawlor and David Grant.
