The Campaign for a New Temple Cowley Pools & Fitness Centre!
Looking back over the course of the campaign, we've seen a number of incidents happening to different members of our campaign team. We can't believe that all these things could occur simply because we, as a completely non-violent organisation looking openness and honesty from our local politicians and City Council officers. Here's the list, just so that everyone is aware what has been happening: You have to ask, why, if there is nothing underhand going on, have people been quite so keen to stop us having our say, or simply making our voice heard?
...8TH PETITION @Full Council on 29th September - 7pm Town Hall - come and support...

"You lot are doing the wrong thing - why do you want to stop us in Blackbird Leys from having a new pool? It'll be bigger and better, Olympic size... ...what do you mean, only the same as at Temple Cowley now? Well, I don't want it in Blackbird Leys then, why is the Council doing that? A waste of money - I've been on the housing list for over 12 years, that's what I want, not a pool... Good luck, keep Temple Cowley Pool open!"
"I'm a regular user of the pool and gym - access is easy for so many people a the location is on good bus routes. As far as I can see the pool is well used by a huge range of people , many of whom will not have easy access if it moves to the proposed site in Blackbird Leys. We need to keep encouraging people to be active for their heath as well as their pleasure so putting facilities further from the reach of many is not the way to go . "
Feedback from someone at the Peggy Seeger Concert at the Indian Room:

And the previous QotD was...
"...I have 4 children and 2 of them can go swimming without me if it gets moved then they won't be able to go there on their own also there is not much here in Cowley to keep kids active..."
