The proposal seeks to find alternative opportunities for the three facilities in the ward, including the Red Deer Centre and Bowling Club, Westwood Hall and Dunedin Pavilion. “We have also been very disappointed in the lack of communication directly with the club as we only found out about the proposal by chance.
