To reconstruct leisure facilities for young people in and around Seaburn.

What the petition asks
The Seaburn Centre was demolished to make way for new housing; however, there were no plans to build any youth facilities, leaving the children isolated.
As children, we have lost a sporting environment when fitness and obesity are central to heath and well-being. Also, social activities: such as swimming, trampolining and gymnastics have been lost, which will have a negative effect on mental health.
