Text
Minister, your report rightly says that we must help nature to recover and regenerate. It also mentions storm Éowyn. In my constituency of Newry and Armagh, Gosford is a fantastic site that is cherished locally and has great collaboration with Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council (ABC), where I formally served as a public representative. Will you commit to putting more resources into Gosford and perhaps meet me and council officials about the ongoing regeneration of the site for the benefit of nature and biodiversity? A lot more could be done in Gosford with financial interventions from your Department that could lead to a greater and better use of the site and a better experience for the people of Newry and Armagh and those from further afield. People come from all arts and parts to Gosford. If possible, I would like —.
Will you commit to giving more resources and helping with the potential regeneration of that site?
