Sawbridgeworth Town Council Launches Petition to Save Leventhorpe Swimming Pool
Sawbridgeworth Town Council, with strong support from our community, has launched a petition urging the UK Government to reinstate essential funding for Leventhorpe Swimming Pool, which is scheduled to close on 23 December 2024 following a government funding withdrawal. This decision impacts not only Sawbridgeworth but also the surrounding areas, where residents rely on this pool for health, wellbeing, and community connection.
Leventhorpe Pool is a vital resource, helping to foster physical and mental wellbeing for people of all ages. From teaching children to swim to supporting adults on their health journeys, Leventhorpe Pool has long been a place where the community comes together. For many, especially children and elderly residents, there is no realistic alternative if the pool closes.
We are calling on the Government to reconsider these funding cuts and provide the financial support necessary to keep Leventhorpe Swimming Pool open for our community.
We invite everyone to stand with us in support of the petition. By joining together and making our voices heard, we can help preserve Leventhorpe Swimming Pool for future generations.
Sign the petition here: https://chng.it/DVgWYGxCgy or to sign a hard copy of the petition pop into the Council Offices in Sayesbury Manor off of Bell Street, Sawbridgeworth Library or the Hailey Centre.
Together, let’s save Leventhorpe Swimming Pool and keep this invaluable asset for our community’s future.
Cllr Eric Buckmaster, Cllr Ruth Buckmaster, Cllr Annelise Furnace, Cllr Dawn Newell, Cllr Salvatore Pagdades, Cllr Angus Parsad-Wyatt, Cllr Nathan Parsad-Wyatt, Cllr Simon Penney, Cllr Greg Rattey, Cllr John Rider, Cllr Reece Smith, Cllr Steve Smith
