Save Park Bridge Heritage Centre: Protect Our History from Private Sale

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the sale of Park Bridge Heritage Centre by Tameside Council. Protect it as a public asset and reopen it as a community-led heritage and education centre, preserving local history and biodiversity for future generations.

Park Bridge Heritage Centre is a vital part of our industrial and cultural history. Its sale by Tameside Council for private profit would erase access to local heritage and remove a valuable community space. We want Government to protect it as a public asset and help fund its restoration as an educational, environmental and historical hub for future generations. Surrounded by Sites of Biological Importance, it must be preserved, not sold off.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We have to reject petitions that call for action at a local level.
