Keep Absolutely Ten Pin open!

We the undersigned petition the council to We the undersigned petition the council to let Absolutely Ten Pin operate as - is and renew the contract. If the council is not happy about something, let Absolutely Ten Pin know about it and then give them time to resolve the issues.

Slough Borough Council have asked Absolutely Leisure to remove all of their equipment from Absolutely Ten Pin when the contract on the building ends in May 2017.

This will deprive the community of a fantastic venue and will force Absolutely Ten Pin to relocate outside Slough. As a charity, Absolutely Leisure reinvests any profits into developing new venues for the community, improving existing facilities and discounting use of our products for schools, charities and disabled groups. Last year alone Absolutely Ten Pin gave over £25,000 worth of discounted and free use to these groups. The removal of Absolutely Ten Pin from Slough will leave these groups with no venue to go to.

During October half term Absolutely Ten Pin welcomed a record breaking 6,600 bowlers, mostly families, and welcomed over 2000 children into the newly-extended soft play area. Both of these facilities will be lost if Slough Borough Council go ahead with their plans to remove Absolutely Ten Pin next year and will leave local families with nowhere to go for their entertainment.

Please sign the petition to encourage Slough Borough Council and their leader Cllr Sohail Munawar change their mind and keep Absolutely Ten Pin serving the community as it has for the past six years.

This ePetition ran from 17/11/2016 to 16/12/2016 and has now finished.
