Fresh start for Dunmuir Park?

Thursday, May 18, 2006 - Galloway News (Visit Web Site)

FRIENDS of Dunmuir Park will push for a new paper to be passed to the Adult Services Sub Committee (ASSC) next week.

The paper will call for a ‘fresh start’ outlining recommendations in a bid to progress positively and ‘draw a line under the past’.

At a public meeting on Thursday, May 25, at the Murray Arms Hotel, Gatehouse, from 1.30pm till 4pm, FDP will call for the Learning Disability Management Group (LDMG) to back their recommendations.

Friends will urge the LDMG to compile a paper to be presented to Adult Services Sub Committee at their next meeting.

The Friends are calling for the ASSC to set aside their report and decisions made on February 2 when closure was agreed, among other assurances.

In a letter to LMDG Chris Green of Friends of Dunmuir Park, said: “If agreed then all action in the future will be positive and forward looking by both the families and the officers, being a much needed ‘fresh start’.

“It is a demonstration of good faith that also helps restore badly damaged trust.”
