The saving attributed to this closure would be minimal, as revenue towards cost is generated at the centre. Come on Joe Anderson, stop using your expenses for a week and keep this centre open.

This is a valued part of Speke and should stay so.

First the senior school goes and now they want to take away the leisure centre ? Is this all being done to make way for a larger airport? Whats next the houses near the airport site ? Seems to all be happening a bit fast. Hope this petition helps.

my children became brilliant swimmers before joining the RN all thanks to Austin Rawlinson baths, there is nothing in Speke for the families, no secondary school no pubs and now no baths, Yet new houses are being built for buyers, why would anybody buy a house in an area with nothing to do no where to go??? crazy

I used to live around the corner from the baths. I learnt to swim there, went to the school swimming galas. Speke doesn't have many facilities. I hope you manage to save the baths. Good luck.

Whilst I don't blame the council for making cuts, as the Government has cut their budget so drastically they have no choice, I do think it is a huge mistake to target Austin Rawlinson. Having lost the school because local people sent their children elsewhere, we are now losing our library and leisure centre at the same time. After years of regeneration and a feeling of improvement in the area, this could have huge consequences for those of us who live and work here. Please reconsider the plans to open it to clubs only.

Can't believe they're actually taking even more of us although we haven't got much to take! This will only increase crime in our area! Councillors take a pay cut before you start cutting things out of our lives!

hopefully this petition will save the Leisure Centre in Speke. I grew up going to the Baths after school and during school holidays and some of my happiest childhood memories were made there..don't deprive the children of Speke today the same opportunities of having great memories and having somewhere to spent their spare time. Well done to everyone who is fighting the council to save these places...good luck to you all

It infuriates me that this is even happening. All over the news people are constantly moaning about children and adults being over weight or obese and yet they are taking away the gym, exercise classes and the swimming pool. That swimming pool might be the only exercise those children get. I think it is ridiculous, Speke is already a deprived area and now it's loosing something else as well as it's secondary school. What message is this giving to the young people of today when everything around them is getting took away.

Think it's wrong that all our children should have to visit another community to swim. It's bad enough the schools in our area closing down

I live over the road from the swimming baths my family use it alot its somewere for the kids to go especialy the older ones its not fair to be taking things out of communitys. Maybe if so much tome and money wasmt spent on immigrants our children an grandchildren wouldnt suffer and the money could help our communities
