It was reported at the Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Public Meeting last week that security bouncers are required when holding parties/events at the Goldenhill Community Centre.
Residents when hearing the news were very surprised at was being reported and when it was realised it would cost an additional £100; it then made people rethink to whether the cost of hiring the venue was viable.
S.A.G.E. supports the council in trying to keep community centres like Goldenhill financially sustainable and by this being highlighted at the public meeting; it can only help the situation, especially if the council can reduce costs of room hire to groups such as pensioner sing-a-long parties.

Well Tom as in most of the other community centres when they have tried to put a plan together the council have put the skids under it.
My opinion is that by shutting the community centres they are cutting communication with the people.
Hi Terry,
The SAGE Public Meetings really do highlight a lot of interesting issues that happen in the area. I also think that it is positive that we have so many guests that are willing to attend and discuss some of the problems. Pete Price and Malcolm Dawson, City Council were asked a lot of questions on Highways issues and of course the Community Centre security was mentioned and as you know questions have been asked.
The craziness of this situation has even made the nationals now (admittidly only the sun) http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4756615/OAPs-sing-song-Only-if-you-have-bouncers.html
It’s in the Mail too.
