Name: Helen M MacLeod on Apr 27, 2008Comments: I would like to decide whether or not I go for a swim on a Sunday. Why should the council members ban me from doing so Every individual is free to use their own free time as they see fit (as long as they abide by the law!) How can the council deny thousands of people such a simple pleasure as swimming when they have allowed the folk of uist and Barra the same privilege for so long Are we not the same people Everyone should contact their own councillor and urge them to raise this at the next council meeting. Good luck!!

Name: George MacLeod on Apr 27, 2008Comments: It is an absolute disgrace that such a petition is needed. I often feel that the day of rest has come to mean a day of sloth. For a municipal sport centre to be shut for half the weekend is appalling. Council members should be ashamed for banning sport and recreation during the weekend. For some people the only day they could use a sport centre is a Sunday.

Name: Susan Buchanan on Apr 28, 2008Comments: It's an outrage that our children only have two days a week when the're not in full time education . When they should have the pleaseure of getting fit and doing family activities, that they are unable to because of a extrememly small number of small minded religious biggats. There are numerous religions and people who abide by the sabbath on the mainland , however , they do not imposed there practices on the rest of the population. So please allow those who want to use the fabulous facilities provided to do so.

Name: ANN-MARIE HENDERSON on Apr 29, 2008Comments: Childhood obesity is fast becoming a problem - even here in the Hebrides, it is important that all generations can access fun, safe activities that the sports centre provides 7 days a week. Sometimes this is the only day of the week that families can spend together, and having this facility available on a Sunday, at least provides people with an opportunity to do something fun. The weather here does not always allow families etc to go for a walk or to the beach on a Sunday.
