Littlehampton Needs More Leisure Facilities
Littlehampton is a small Town on the South Coast in West Sussex.
Currently there are plans in progress to build more Houses in the area.
Unfortunatley, there are minimal facilities for Recreation.
We have one Leisure Centre , one small Cinema and one Amusement Park.
We need somthing like an Ice skating Rink, Bowling Alley or a bigger Cinema.
The Littlehampton Community needs a Leisure Complex like Chichester Gate or the Guildford Spectrum as the Town expands.
We ned to keep the Littlehampton People in Littlehampton, rather than to go elswhere.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We want every community to have access to as wide a range of sports facilities as possible, and we are keen to make sure these facilities are open to all. However, sports and recreation facilities are delivered by local authorities, and locally elected representatives are best placed to judge the needs of the people they serve.
There is a national planning policy in place covering sports and recreation facilities. This policy is quite detailed but, in short, it looks to local council planning to protect such facilities needed by the local community. More information about the National Planning Policy Framework, a draft of which the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) recently consulted upon, will simplify the existing suite of planning policy documents and be localist in its approach; handing power back to local communities to decide what is right for them.
You may be interested in the new Framework, more information about which can be found at the following link: http://www.communities.gov.uk/planningandbuilding/planningsystem/planningpolicy/planningpolicyframework/
