DUP Vote to Spend £1/2 Million on Gun Club

DUP Vote to Spend £1/2m on Gun Club at Hamilton Road Community CentreDUP controlled North Down council tonight voting to spend £ 1/2 million on providing facilities for a gun club in the new Hamilton Road Community Centre. I opposed this waste of public money

RATEPAYERS SHOULD NOT PAY HALF A MILLION POUNDS TO PROVIDE A GUN CLUB IN COUNCIL PREMISES

We need gun clubs in our community centres like a hole in the head.
Independent Councillor Brian Wilson condemns tonight’s decision by North Down Council to include facilities for a Gun Club at Hamilton Road Community Centre. This will cost the ratepayers an additional half a million pounds.

Councillor Wilson comments:

The decision to give the go ahead with the gun club is bizarre and indefensible particularly in a time of austerity when many important services are being cut back.

This decision by the DUP dominated Council is:

– Unbelievable given their promise to keep down rates.
– Dangerous particularly as many children will use the centre.
– Unacceptable in that it was taken in committee and the ratepayers had no opportunity to debate the issue but are expected to pay the bill.
– No other council provides facilities for gun clubs
– I would appeal to members to reconsider its decision.

We need gun clubs in our community centres like a hole in the head.

    1. Young people need to learn firearms? Why would young people ever need to learn firearms? For what? In 30+ years I’ve never found a situation where I’ve said ‘Dam I wish I learned firearms’ in fact in 30+ years I’ve never even seen a firearm up close. Respect is for people not objects.
