THE DAY HAS ARRIVED

Well who would have thought it. After 3 and a half long years of campaigning we made it. On the *16th March 2020* Trafford Council Ruling Executive approved removing the threat of development plus voting to secure the land for recreation in perpetuity via ' Village Green Status' A big big thank you from the community must go to Council Leader Andrew Western and his team for making good on their commitments.   Thanks must also go to our local MP Kate Green who raised our issue in parliament. Massive thanks to you the community supporting us and sticking with it.  But the biggest thanks is reserved to the brilliant team behind this campaign and all who have contributed to create this conclusion.

May saw two events arranged by Trafford Council and ourselves for the community to finally have their say on the future of this much loved, much used Leisure Centre and Social Hub.
