Lower Shankill Children "Walking on Broken Glass"
Loading...
Uploaded by PPRProject on Jul 29, 2009
Today, a group of young people from the Lower Shankill released a damning report (5th August 2009) and YouTube video, highlighting the dangers that broken glass poses to young people who wish to play in the available open spaces.
The report calls on Belfast City Council and NI Housing Executive to address the broken glass as a matter of urgency and implement a weekly cleaning system.
Through correspondence with DSD, Northern Ireland Housing Executive and Belfast City Council, repeated assurances were given that the broken glass would be cleaned up. However, evidence monitored by the group shows that little has been done and the issue remains unaddressed.

Why do they need "the government" to clean up glass? OH HELP ME BIG BROTHER, WONT SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!
Why don't the parents in the community get together and clean up the glass. I am sure that would help the situation at least a little.
