What the petition asks

We would like you to consider alternative options other than closure of the centre.

This bustling centre has become the heart of our community, offering a wide range of amenities including a pool, gym, fitness classes and more. It also serves as a home to numerous clubs like Bellshill Sharks ASC, dance schools, football teams, diving clubs, taekwondo and kendo clubs. It’s where countless individuals learn to swim, a life-saving skill.
The closure of Sir Matt Busby Leisure Centre would have a devastating impact on the well-being, health, and sense of community in our area.
