]]> Fri, 6 Feb 2015 11:25:51 UTC 18508449 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18475491?utm_medium=rss Losing this play centre will mean children being deprived of a safe environment to play and interact outside of school hours. They have good role models provided by the council that will be losing their jobs as well. It's a reall shame and obviously the benefits that these play centres provide are being completely overlooked or have not been acknowledged like they should have. If the play centres are closed, the neighbourhoods should prepare themselfs for more vandalism. Children who have no hobbies that they are interested in have the chance to socialise and grow in confidence. Why lose it.

My generation was full of criminals, thieves, drug dealers, alcoholics, racists etc. We didn't have the opportunity to learn to grow and play together to become better individuals, to them suggest taking away what has made us a better culture would be going back to the stone age, the bad times.
