Don't let our local swimming pool at Stourfield Junior School CLOSE.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

A SWIMMING pool at a Bournemouth junior school will close at Easter because it costs too much to run.

Stourfield Junior School's pool will shut its doors at the end of the financial year following an "incredibly difficult" decision by the school's board of governors.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. You could raise this with the school's governing body, who are responsible for this decision.
