North Down Council have voted to spend half a million pounds in providing a gun club in the new Hamilton House Community Centre. The Council should not spend ratepayers money on a private gun club and it certainly should not be in the same building as a children's play group.
If you agree please sign the petition to persuade councillors to change their minds.

I have submitted a formal request for the full budgetary breakdown regarding the Hamilton House allocation. Council staff have acknowledged receipt of our correspondence and I am currently drafting a briefing document for the primary opposition members.

The volume of support has secured us a formal meeting with the head of the planning committee to discuss the use of public funds for this facility. I am currently drafting a letter to the Council outlining the safety risks associated with co-locating a private shooting range near a children's play area.

I think it is ridiculous that the council use taxpayers money on a private gun club, which offers nothing in return towards the betterment of the district.
What a disgrace, our money spent on the rich yet again - so they can have their wee club
Shame on those councilors who seem to lack any come sense to think spending Rate payers money to a tune of almost half a million pounds, on something which will be used by very few residents.
shame on councilors to vote for this spend there own money on it if they want not the rate payers money.
it is very important to stop the gun club also to stop such a largeamount of money being spent on such a dangerous sport to pleasea few people
STOP IT! BAN ALL NEGATIVE CLUBS LIKE GUN CLUBS.
nothing but a bloody farce
