Local communities will have equal access to Blanchflower Playing Fields
Belfast City Council has snubbed Glentoran Football Club and ended its “preferential” use of Blanchflower stadium.
Alliance further proposed a workshop looking at data collection from Glentoran and other teams. This again was rejected by the other parties, after a council official said all the relevant data had been gathered already. The three options before elected representatives were firstly to renew the preferential use agreement with Glentoran Football Club, secondly to process all pitch bookings on a first-come, first-served basis, or thirdly to work with local community based football clubs to develop an allocation model so that they all get access to the pitch on Monday to Thursday evenings.
He added: “The provision of first-come first-serve doesn’t work.” He requested a new officer report looking at pitch allocation models across the city.

Wandsworth Council: Low council tax but high-quality servicesWandsworth Council charges residents in a band-D property just £961 this year, yet it's still opening libraries and launching 'skip days' - many across the UK might be looking and wondering: how can we get the same service? Wandsworth Council charges some of the lowest council tax in England but still makes provisions for extra services – how does it do it? It is shortly after 9:30am on a brisk Saturday morning on Larch Close in Balham, and a father and his toddler daughter are chanting a made-up song while waiting in the line to use an enormous skip that’s been placed in the street. “Mega skip day,” the two cheerfully chant as the father finishes kicking apart a shelving unit so he can dispose of it. The others gathering around are less obviously exuberant but still share cheerful words with the high-vis clad council workers Emma and Eve who are staffing the skip.
