Richmond Council finally folded and Heatham House is officially off the market. They tried to sell out our youth for a quick profit but our pressure forced them to back down. Stay vigilant because we have to ensure they actually invest in this space instead of letting it rot.

We the undersigned urge Richmond Council not to sell Heatham House. This unique facility should be retained for the use of young people, the local community and remain as a project the whole borough can use and be proud of.

The momentum behind this fight is shaking the council to its core. They thought they could offload Heatham House behind our backs but now they see exactly how many people are ready to hold them accountable.

Spent so many nights here as a teenager. Don't ruin it for the next generation. It's one of the few places left for kids to actually go.

My kids have grown up going here. Taking this away from the youth in Richmond would be a massive mistake. Stop selling off our community spaces.

This place has been here for ages. Why is the council so obsessed with selling everything off just to build more overpriced flats? leave it be.

Ridiculous decision. We need this facility open.
