Please sign & help us save our Leisure Centre

[disneypars]

Signed and forwarded to friends. We live in Fife and my son takes our grandchildren there every weekend. Fife council are the pits. They think nothing of spending in excess of £2 million on a new centre for their transport services but are unable to fix pot holes in the road.
Don't get me started on the destruction of villages by allowing building on green sites.

Thank you so much. We love the Beacon it's got a buzz about it that still feels personal unlike the fancy new centres which are lovely but dont quite feel the same. We spend on average 10 hours a week there between training for them, junior gym and land training. It's always buzzing with folk pottering around.

Seriously? Pretty offensive to the public servants that work very hard to deliver your services.

Signed, will never understand how those in power prattle on about wanting people to be fitter and more active then they want to shut down facilities like this to save a few bob.

Thanks so much everyone. We are over 2.5k signatures in 24 hours. The courier are coming to the club training session on Sunday to do a piece on them and how vital the pool is from that point of view.

The land it's on isnt probably ideal for housing but who knows.

Out of curiosity what else is in the area? I can think of Cowdenbeath, Carnegie and Kirkcaldy (or did they close that one?)

I wouldn't want a house so close to the links, but I could see the attraction of being right at the beach. I suspect it would be very expensive to demolish the building and fill in the pool. Flats with a private pool maybe?!

I think you missed the word 'executives'!

Yeah we have carnegie and cowdenbeath both of which have had hours slashed already and kirkcaldy. All of those are fab pools but not the same as the beacon with the leisure side of it. I think the shows would put a lot of people off buying on that site. Not something I'd want literally on my door step all summer but who knows. They're back pedalling a bit now so we shall see!

ETA they did close the old kirkcaldy pool and built a new leisure centre on the prom with no car park on site!
