An article in the Gazette the morning after the August 11 town council meeting [LINK] failed to mention that over 40 letters in support of the project were tabled (and many more have been received since) against less than a dozen in opposition and that a record number of residents were present to speak for the venture. We need to emphasise that this is on no way a commercial venture and that the objective of the recent letter to residents was simply a feeler to test the level of support before proceeding with a business plan and detailed costing. It may well never be built but the idea has merit – what’s wrong with looking at the pros and cons?

A few voices were raised in opposition – that’s to be expected – and questions were asked as to just “who are Team Ice?”. That’s easy to answer – Team Ice is comprised of those citizens who believe this is a project worth looking into. There is no formal membership and nobody pays dues to be associated with us – all we ask is that anyone interested in following the discussion let us have your contact details so that we can keep you informed about what is happening. Just email us at teamiceequipeglace@gmail.com or use the form on this site’s contact page and we will add you to our mailing list.
