Breaking News: Community of Greystones Takes a Stand Against Slot Machines and Casino Gambling
The community of Greystones is taking a stand against Slot Machines, Pokey Machines, and Casino Gambling businesses being established in their district. In a recent development, the community has delivered a leaflet to every house in the district to inform them that their elected representatives are voting to rescind the legislation that allows these businesses to take hold in the community.
Over 2,500 signatures have already been collected on a petition to stop the establishment of such businesses in the district, highlighting the strong community support for this measure. This move has been taken in the context of a wider trend in Ireland, where many districts have already successfully rescinded similar legislation. However, what makes Greystones unique is the strength of community support for this measure.
This means that businesses such as pubs and restaurants will not be affected by this change, and that those who enjoy a flutter on the horses will still be able to do so without any issue.
The campaign to rescind the legislation in Greystones has received strong backing from a number of local elected representatives, including Councillors Lourda Scott, Stephen Stokes, Derek Mitchell, and Mark Barry. The fact that these councillors have listened to the views of parents, families, and residents of Greystones is a testament to their commitment to serving the interests of their constituents.
The community has made their voice heard, and it's important that we continue to do so. We encourage all residents of Greystones to email their local councillors and ask them to act and support this change to protect our children and the vulnerable. The change will be secured if we unite and show the elected representatives that this is an issue that matters to us.
Here are the email addresses for the councillors:
Lourda: Lscott@wicklowcoco.ie
Stephen: stephenstokes101@gmail.com
Derek: dmitchell@wicklowcoco.ie
Mark: mbarry@wicklowcoco.ie
Gerry: gerrywalsh00@gmail.com
Let's continue to fight for what we believe in and ensure that the district of Greystones remains free from the negative impacts of Slot Machines, Pokey Machines, and Casino Gambling.
