Tipper Stage is a public park in the middle of the city of Lira. Sharon saw some rich brown clay on the edge of the field, and that became Tipper Stage Brown. The clay is now gone.

One of the most significant issues has been land disputes and ownership conflicts. Between 2017 and 2020, Tipper Stage became the center of heated debates over who rightfully owns the land. The process of acquiring land titles for this area was fraught with controversy, as various parties laid claim to the land, leading to confusion and tension within the community. These disputes were not just legal matters but also deeply affected the community, as the ownership of Tipper Stage directly impacts how the space can be used and developed.

Local residents have been particularly vocal about their concerns regarding the **sale of land** associated with Tipper Stage. There were widespread fears that the land might be sold off in ways that would not benefit the community or that would prioritize private interests over public good. These concerns led to petitions being filed with Parliament, as residents sought to protect the space from being mismanaged or taken away from public use.

Another issue connected to Tipper Stage is its role in **law enforcement operations** targeting criminal activities in the vicinity. While the space serves as a hub for community gatherings and events, it has also been the site of police actions aimed at curbing crime in the area. This dual role—both as a community space and as a location for law enforcement—sometimes creates tension, as residents must navigate the complexities of a space that is both welcoming and occasionally associated with police activity.

These issues underscore the importance of Tipper Stage not just as a physical space, but as a focal point for broader discussions about land use, community rights, and the challenges of managing public spaces in a growing city like Lira. The controversies and concerns surrounding Tipper Stage highlight the need for careful planning and transparent decision-making to ensure that this vital part of Lira’s urban landscape remains accessible and beneficial to all.
