Sign today and send this link on, lets show Hackney Council that we care!
North East London Gymnastics club has found a building which would be suitable for their purpose which is the old zoom around building in Milton grove, the only building in the area which has the double height ceiling required. The property is owned by Hackney Council and up for lease. We have offered to pay the full commercial lease on the building and handed in a strong business proposal. We are not asking for any money from the council, all we need is someone to say YES. We just need to cut through the red tape and get a decision made. We have been informed that a short list of prospective tenants for the building should be drawn up by the 25th June 2009, with a final decision later in July. We don’t have this much time! The council has known about our situation for at least a year and appears to have done very little to help us secure a venue.
We are the only gymnastics facility left in Hackney and one of the few Sports Mark accredited sports clubs. Hackney needs this gymnastics club, we need to ensure that the club is able to continue to deliver this Olympic sport to children with a new home in Hackney. With this new facility we could not only support the existing 300 children but also, offer this to the 500 children on the waiting list. Giving more children the opportunity to be off the streets and thriving in a sporting environment. If we shut 1500 school children could also lose gymnastic in their school.
At the moment there are too many clubs fighting for survival because hackney have not prioritised Sport. How can this be allowed to continue in an Olympic host borough? We should be seeing an increase in Sporting opportunities for our young people not a decline.
Can we really afford to lose this Olympic sport in an Olympic host borough?
