The Forgotten Community
The Forthill community have been excluded again from the 85 million
package allocated to sports and voluntary organizations under the 2007
Lottery Sports Capital Programme. Sligo Borough council submitted an
application for a
grant of €295,000 to proceed with phase 2 of the Forthill Municipal
Park. Phase 1 was finished 2 years ago. We have 4 elected councillors
in our area and 2 TDs but these people as usual think the people in
the Forthill area are good enough to come to when looking for votes,
but not good enough to make representations on behalf of when they try
to get a small portion of their area upgraded in any way, we are indeed
the forgotten community. Click Here to read our, Chairmans
Statement
Our football
pitch has been vandalised by thugs the dressing rooms were wrecked and
what they could not burn they broke, if the club had to get the funding
they were promised
to finish the pitch it would have been more secure and this damage would
not have happened to see photos of it,
