Sinn Fein Manifesto, for the election of Jimmy Fleming as a Councilor for Gorey:
Community Facilities, Drugs and CrimeThe provision of leisure and amenity areas for our youth has been consistently neglected in Gorey while only public outrage prevented rezoning of the Showgrounds which is still under threat.
The town has become a satellite of Dublin and is witnessing a spiralling drug, under age drinking and crime problem.

Page 27 of the PD's 2007 manifesto on planning:

• Ensure the ‘hands-off’ zoning by Local Authorities of all sports, recreational and educationrelated
lands, to prevent development on land important to communities.
• Permit land swaps by Local Authorities only following public discussion and a formal public
consultation process.
• Require all Local Authorities to legally secure the title on all open spaces and public amenities.
