ALL the letters received recently in the letter’s column relating to the closure of the sports centre have excellent ideas which I fully agree with.

It seems that the council has made its mind up and the sports centre will close at the end of March. This must not happen.

The idea of a new sports centre has been suddenly sprung upon us all without any consultation whatsoever.

I suggest all of us should write to our councillors in the particular wards.

Friends, we have been robbed. To stop this we need to take positive action such as lobbying councillors at the meetings, attend the surgeries that are held each month.

Only by these means will we achieve our objective.
