Make Rochford Council put more disabled spaces into Rayleigh leisure center

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

I am a wheelchair user and currently having to go to Brentwood gym as the local gyms are not wheelchair friendly. One of the gyms I could use,only have two disabled parking spaces and they are in use most of the time. Fusion in Rayleigh

The gym manager has previously asked rochford council to add more Spaces but have gotten no answer to it.
This is meaning a 26 year old who lives in Hockley must go to Brentwood for a wheelchair friendly gym with free weights.
I need the space of a double hatch space to get into my wheelchair and get bags out the car of equipment to take inside. Without a double hatch space I can’t.
Otherwise make wheelchair only spaces that are patrolled. A wheelchair user has no option but to go home.
