Local Community stops arcarde from opening at Castle Mill Shopping Centre

Last month Sinn Féin highlighted that a developer planned to open an amusement arcade in Castle Mill Shopping Centre. http://balbriggansinnfein.blogspot.com/2009/07/they-want-to-put-amusement-arcade-in.html

The local community and local businesses were greatly opposed to such a plan and a campaign to lobby the council to reject this proposal was mounted. I am pleased to say that this campaign was successful and the planning application for a change of use of the premises concerned was rejected by Fingal County Council.

This case shows that when people are motivated and become involved in issues concerning their community, then positive things can happen.

Once again Balbriggan Sinn Féin wishes to congratulate all those involved with this campaign.
