Dear @AngelaRayner. Thursday 31st August is the final night that our swimming club can use it’s home facilities, before we are forced to move to another town in Tameside, due to the closure of Active Ashton on the 3rd Sept.
The support you have shown to prevent the closure has been non-existent. We do not feel heard, or represented by you. You have ignored our pleas and cries for help to prevent this closure, when we have needed you most.
So @AngelaRayner, you have one last chance to visit us. We train from 7:30pm. We want you to help us here in St Peter’s Ward. We want the support our local MP should be giving us. Come down to see us on our final night.
And so the last dance ends with a last tango in Sheffield (one relay today, one Friday) However it goes we’re incredibly proud of how hardworking & dedicated you’ve been to your swimming to date & everything you’ve achieved. Go out & smash it scamp x @CoManchAq@AshtonSC
Our Chairman, Steve Shilley, appeared on @BBCPolitics today. Thanks to @BBCNews for helping us to fight to keep a leisure centre in Ashton-U-Lyne. We’ve been overwhelmed with support from everyone… ❤️except @TamesideCouncil 👎🏼 #saveourpool#bbcnews
