The slopes of the Little Sugar Loaf are walked every day by large numbers of hill walkers who access this wonderful amenity by way of the very lands which are tnow threatened by Wicklow County Council. Here, just fourteen miles from Dublin, ....Wicklow County Council.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am most upset to hear of the proposal to build a roadway through Barchuilla Commons.
I visit the Glenview Hotel every weekend and walk the slopes of the Small Sugarloaf, either entering or exiting the hills by way Barchuilla Commons. I am constantly amazed by the views, the diversity of planted species, and by the abundance of deer in this area, so close to Dublin.
The proposal to route heavy traffic into this tranquil area is an extraordinary lapse of judgement on the part of Wicklow County Council. The entire descent from the mountain will be made all the poorer by the sight of moving viechles instead of rolling fields. Essentially this wonderfully scenic walk will be destroyed.
Please think very carefully before you proceed further on this calamitous plan.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Joseph Clare.
