Save The Friary leisure centre Lichfield

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Lichfield is a beautiful cathedral city, we have lots of new housing estates being built but Lichfield District council and Freedom Leisure are closing the only public swimming pool and leisure centre in the area.

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. The closure of the Friary leisure centre is the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
