We request that Basepoint put back the historic name of ROPETACKLE to the Ropetackle Centre in Shoreham By Sea, West Sussex. Basepoint is a business name not the name of a site that has been in place for a couple of hundred years.

Seeing one hundred people recognize the true history of this site feels incredible. My family has lived here for generations and Ropetackle is part of our local identity that we cannot lose.

Seeing this much support for our local identity leaves me incredibly moved. It proves that this name belongs to our community rather than a corporate branding exercise.

Ridiculous rename. Ropetackle is a part of Shoreham history and it belongs on the building.
