Mayor's Minute Disputed Over Rifle Range Near Town
Council reads a contested minute concerning Forbes Rifle Range with claims of danger to life and stock. A motion to close the range and relocate it prompts calls for cooperation with authorities and a letter to Forbes Council, with copies to the Army and police.
Letter to council defends long used life range during war
In a council letter residents defend the life range usage, noting decades of service including wartime, and claim the club contributed to national defense. They argue halting the range would waste Army spending and delay safety improvements, while local figures assert no danger from cadet shoots and support continuing use amid calls to prevent new range construction.
