According to representatives from the group, the poster were taken down 'because some people were offended by colours in the board'.
A Glebeside spokesperson explained: "As most people know this week the Glebeside Community Association are holding their Community Week, a packed week of events for all the community.

"Last week to help raise the profile the Association they got a number of boards made and placed them on poles around the estate. On the nights of Friday 15 and Monday 18 August these were taken down with only one found. The word in the area is that these were removed because some people were offended by colours in the board.

"First and foremost the Glebeside Community Association does not represent one side of the community or the other; it exists for the whole community. Secondly it is also worth looking at the number of events organised by the Association with a 'cultural' theme.

"The Community Funday this year alone had a number of Ulster Scots based projects such as Ulster Scots language, poetry, cookery and music. Within the Community Week a trip was also organised to educate young people on the First World War and particularly the story of John Meeke who was a Private in the 36th Ulster Division. Also in recent months the Association has also organised an Ulster Scots Summer School and a cultural heritage course to educate local people on their Ulster history.

"The fact is that this is a very sad situation and regardless of the reasons this is basically an attack on the Community Week which is supported and involves all sections of the Glebeside community.
"The Glebeside Community Association is made up of people from a wide range of groups representing children, young people, senior citizens, youth and adult football as well as other interests. The work of these groups was officially recognised last year when the Housing Community Network Community Achievement Award was given to the Association. Only five of these Awards were presented throughout Northern Ireland.

"The boards which were taken down cost the Association almost £100 to produce, money which we can ill afford to loss. Unfortunately this will have to be recouped someway, probably through fundraising. We therefore appeal for anyone who finds or knows where the boards are to leave them back to the Community House as they can be used for future events."
