I VIEW with utter dismay plans to bring the Arc Light Centre to Shipton Street school.

This is a residential area. We already have our fare share of vandalism so to put this here can only make matters worse.

There are better uses for Shipton Street school, such as an old people's home. Several have closed in this area in recent years.

Please put this centre away from sensitive areas and use Shipton Street school for the population of the immediate area.
