WHY ARE THE AUTHORITIES DOING THIS? I THNK IT WOULD BE A VERY GOOD IDEA IF THE G8 LEADERS WERE ACTUALLY MADE TO SEE THE DAMAGE THAT THEIR SELFISH AND BRUTAL POLICIES ARE DOING ACROSS THE BRITISH ISLES!
DON'T COVER UP THE DERELICTION, NORTHERN IRELAND, SHOW IT TO THEM!
LET THEM SEE WHAT A REAL TOWN AND/OR VILLAGE CENTRE LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE BUTCHERS HAS GONE, THE BAKERS HAS GONE, THE TEA-ROOM HAS CLOSED, THE PUBS ARE BOARDED UP, THE FISH SHOP HAS GONE, THE PAPER SHOP HAS GONE, THE PET SHOP HAS GONE, THE GREENGROCERS HAS CLOSED, etc. etc.
Let them see for themselves the result of their policies and decisions, don't shield them from it.
The G8 delegates are responsible for this - this is all their handiwork!
Aren't they proud of themselves?
Local councils in Northern Ireland have painted fake shop fronts and covered derelict buildings with huge billboards to hide the economic hardship being felt in towns and villages near the golf resort where G8 leaders will meet this month.
Northern Ireland's government has spent £2m (€2.3m) tackling dereliction over the past two years, the environment department said.
Some buildings have been demolished and others have been given a facelift in an attempt to make areas more attractive.
Almost a quarter of "dereliction funds" were freed up for local councillors in Co Fermanagh in anticipation of Britain hosting the annual Group of Eight leaders’ summit there on 17-18 June.
More than 100 properties have been spruced up......
