Motion no: 38
Conference notes the need to ensure green open spaces in urban areas to help workers cope with stress and anxiety and improve lifestyles choices. Conference also notes plans by Southern Regional College to close its Lurgan and Portadown campuses and open a new campus in the Craigavon City Park.
Conference welcomes the investment in education in Craigavon but rejects plans to remove around 50 acres of parkland when other suitable locations for the new college already exist. Conference also notes the work of the Save the City Park group and their efforts to oppose the location of the new college onto the Craigavon City Park.
Conference calls on the incoming Northern Ireland Committee & Congress affiliates to support the Save the City Park campaign and to ensure that our green spaces are protected for citizens.
