The Ratepayers are leading the fight against the GMSF proposals.
The public meeting on the 15th November, 2016 was packed (standing room only).
The proposals were explained by Senior Officers of the Council, followed by a question and answer session. Finally, it was agreed to oppose the current proposals and a number of residents volunteered to help us mount our opposition. It was pointed out that our MP was circulating a petition in the area, opposing the plans. The back cover of the Winter issue of Contact comprised an article explaining the proposals and urging people to respond to the consultation.
After the meeting, we set up a Research Group, comprised of members of the Ratepayers’ Committee and volunteers from the meeting. The Research Group will study all the GMSF documents and their backing documents, together with other national documentation. They will use the research to produce a fact based, logical document which will be submitted to the GMSF headquarters.
