THERE IS MORE TO THIS THAN MEETS THE EYE !
Dumfries & Galloway Council says it is “safeguarding public funds” as it pursues legal action over £65,000 owed by DJR Sport Ltd, pulling access to the Ice Bowl and ruling out any future agreement. OUCH!
The Solway Sharks say they lost key income streams, missed 10 weeks of ice time and still paid over £89,000 to the council, yet now face being shut out completely.
That is the full force of enforcement in action.
Set that beside the council’s own figures: £712,506 in council tax written off in the last financial year. Quietly removed from the books. No public statement, no sanctions, no headlines.
No one disputes that debts must be dealt with, but when a much loved local sports club is pursued over £65k while more than ten times that amount is written off elsewhere, the question is "WHY THE INCONSISTENCY?"
