Save Our Play Centres.

This petition is to save the closure of Edgwick and Eagle Street Play Centres. These centres are the last of the play centres within Coventry, and provide a safe place for our children to play. They are a place where multi-cultured children play together, and is one only a few things which are still running which bring the community together. The council want to replace these for nurseries for the under 2's, but then there will be nothing for the older children left within Coventry where the children to play together safely. It is also where parents can report any misbehavior's within and around the park, eg. drug users, needles being found, which unfortunately is not as uncommon as some may think. Generations of families have used the play centres, and parents whom I have spoken to who used the centres themselves say it is where some of their fondest memories lay, so it would be a real shame to take this opportunity away from this and future generations.
