   Comments: It is very important to me that the current Gillingham leisure centre remains open until new facilities are built. Continuity of service is essential and the leisure centre tops the list of services that I want the council to provide. The leisure centre is currently for many the hub of the Gillingham community with many successful clubs and experienced staff. I fear that if the centre is closed the current 'community spirit' will be destroyed and difficult to reestablish especially if we are left for several years with no facilities at all.

   Comments: Gillingham Leisure Centre is a vital resource to the town and surrounding area. The Centre has hosted the success of Gillingham Turbos Swimming Club, which has grown over time to promote excellence in swimming. This club has demonstrated the benefits of exercise in a climate where computer games, inactivity, ill health and obesity are commonplace. It would be a tragedy and a travesty to close-down the Centre and the Club with no similar or suitable replacement.

   Comments: Leisure centres are all budgeted for in the Council Tax. Perhaps we should all stop paying it until they come to their senses but everone must do it. Perhaps they would rather spend money on rectifying vandalism instead. These places definately keep people off the streets. Let them stop the funding and let's all get together and run the place ourselves. The sooner they get out the better because what I have found over the years is they just get in the way of enterprising ideas.

    Comments: This is an important facility for a town which has expanded greatly in the past 30 years, a town of this size not only needs a facility like this, but if anything an improved one, not one to be closed down! We use this EVERY time we visit my parents who still live in Gillingham. Mrs Polly Watson - from 'further afield' Goffs Oak, Herfordshire.

    Comments: With so many young people living in and around Gillingham it would be irresponsible to close the Leisure Centre before an alternative centre is built. The Government keeps talking about obesity in children but withdrawing leisure centres will only add to this problem

    Comments: To close Gillingham leisure centre is madness beyond belief! The town has rapidly expanded over the past few years, and will continue to do so. The leisure centre provides a very imporant venue for people to meet, to exercise (a major govenment target centres around people's health, fitness and weight management!) and keep fit. How is this being allowed to happen I regularly take my 2 year old swimming there. With the closure, does this mean that I will have to travel half an hour to Gillingham or Yeovil because the sports facilities in this area will be so abominably appaling

    Comments: I feel closing Gillingham Leisure Centre will be utter madness. Considering that Gillingham is an expanding town, there needs to be somewhere were people can go. This labour government bangs on about people getting fit and are so concerned about obesity, that they could allow this to go ahead.

    Comments: We are moving into Wyke, Gillingham and my daughters love to swim. This proposed closure is very sad, especially as the swim club of Gillingham is so successful and was part of the reason for choosing the area.

    Comments: The leisure centre will be a major loss to the community, people visit the centre that do not live local as it is the only one in the area.
