Does Sherwood Hall need to be brought up to scratch, an estimated, £333,000.

Why the need? Health and Safety?

There is a need for Sherwood Hall. No doubt about it. What about Health, Sport and the Olympic Stuff. Thats why England not so good. Attitude. Attitude is poor. Thats why closure of Sherwood Hall. Not good really.

Happy to be contacted if you feel the need.

It has taken such a long time for the bypass to be built, will the new leisure centre ever be built? And why so underhand, one day open next day closed without the public really knowing that there were any problems? It doesn't inspire confidence in the council!!

Closing this venue makes organising sports, clubs and keeping fit extremely hard in an already too busy world. Ask those with disabilities whether they would rather have Sherwood Hall open with poor access until the new centre is built or closed to everybody. There is no logic here. There must be enough money to patch things up until the new facility is opened.

In an age where we are always complining about "HOODIES" onthe streets, closing a service that keeps some of those young people of the streets seems detrimental to a community.

There is no convenient alternative, and non at all in the district with the same size of sports hall. The new leisure centre has not yet been financed nor put into plan, so we risk being without a leisure centre for much more than the stated 3 years.

Since the building is used by the public, the public should have been put in the picture much sooner. Those of us who use Sherwood Hall only heard about it when the matter was signed and sealed. I shall certainly NEVER vote for the Conservatives - locally or nationally.

The reasons they have given for its closure are not good enough and it is just a money-pinching exercise.
