Save The Henley in Arden Sports Centre
Save The Henley in Arden Sports Centre
Why this petition matters
The proposed development of the Henley in Arden Sports Centre by WASPS Rugby Club.
The sports facilities include the sports hall and the smaller fitness studios, the astroturf and grass pitches. There are 13 local grass roots football clubs that use the facilities, each of whom have several teams including Henley Forest, Claverdon, Hockley Heath, Central Ajax. There are also 400 children affected who play with West Midland Foxes. Henley School and KES play hockey there, for KES this is their home ground. It is also used by Stratford Hockey Club. The local cricket clubs practice there as well as Claverdon Rugby Club.
Moving indoors to the sports hall, which has a Community Use Order in place, we have The Warwickshire Bears, our disabled basket ball team who have used the facility since it opened, netball clubs, children’s cricket clubs, weightlifting, Pilates, the list goes on and on.
The closure of the such a valuable local resource would have a far greater impact on the local community than current suggestions. There up to 1500 people a week that pass through the gates, gates that must remain open for the benefit and health of our community.
