STOP Newham Council closing the only leisure centre in the Olympic Zone

Additional Information

We the undersigned, petition the Prime Minister to reverse Newham council’s decision to close Atherton Leisure Centre in December 2011 and have the council release the funds to repair the main swimming pool roof as it is the only Leisure Centre in E15 (the heart of the Olympics).
The council’s own report shows that 23% of all leisure centre visits in Newham are to Atherton and that there is not enough capacity in other venues. The closure of Atherton leaves the residents of Stratford without any sporting facilities for the foreseeable future.
Where is our Olympic Legacy?
Robin Wales claims that a new 'state-of-the-art' centre will be built to replace Atherton; however, the report from the council’s meeting states, "There is significant risk that the capital financing will not be secure for a replacement facility".
