John Montgomery – Bangor Central
Former Councillor who retains political interest
Such a shame to see such damage to the tree population of Castle Park following the recent storm.
In order that future generations are able to enjoy the park as we have, Council must engage in an ambitious replacement programme.
The historic museum building will be filled with art for everyone to enjoy. Try clay work, painting, print-making and lots more. Take the opportunity to watch artists at work, get stuck in or just sit back, relax and enjoy the music!
This free event is fun for all the family.

The choirs guest this year is the excellent local artist Peter Corry and Band. We were luck enough to hear Peter Corry preforming the role of Inspector Javert in the West End production of “Les Miserables”, he was excellent. We can expect a similarly marvellous performance from both Peter and the Choir.
Superb exhibition running in North Down Museum highlighting how Northern Ireland was a place of refuge for those fleeing from Nazi Germany.
The accompanying leaflet states :- “During the war, members of the Belfast Hebrew Congregation, now known as the Belfast Jewish Community, answered the call to defend our freedoms and many of their powerful testimonies are relived in the exhibition. “
It is a superb and for us unusual exhibition which is well worth a visit. Certainly bring the children along in order that the effects of tyranny are not forgotten through the generations.
Runs Tuesday 8 January to Sunday 3 February.
Bangor hospital is inadequate for a town this size. Even it’s car park is not fit for purpose.
There was a campaign a few years ago asking it be replaced.
At the time two of our MLA’s had a role in the health remit at Stormont. They were found lacking.
Perhaps it’s time to revisit the provision of a hospital in Bangor, we deserve it.
Shameful increase in graffiti around the town.
It seems Council can’t keep up with the very expensive task of removal.
Nonetheless it is a task that must be treated with urgency.
Short video to demonstrate the damage to our pavements. In particular, apart from the damage to the tiles themselves, is that the concrete subfloor will not be replaced.
