DUP councillor says SF won’t silence him

Councillor Clement Cuthbertson accused Sinn Fein of preventing him moving his motion at the monthly meeting last Thurday. He claimed it wasn’t the first time this had happened.

“My motion, which was about Council by-laws on the consumption of intoxicating liquor in designated places, needs to be addressed. We all know of the problems in Railway Park and Windmill Wood,” he said.

“Unfortunately, our Sinn Fein controlled Council are clearly not prepared to take the lead on tackling these issues. This is evident as a motion I had previously brought regarding Railway Park was also binned. I will not be silenced on these, or indeed any other matters.”
