Shocking lack of joined up thinking by the Council who have a duty to ensure leisure facilities are available for the local community.

This is about having a community that comes together to support Basingstoke sports. Help make it a town that people want to come to and visit or live.

What is life with out enjoyment! Stop sucking the life out of leisure facilities & promote health, well being, team work, fair play ... the list goes on! Keep the ice rink.

Signing this as an Ice Hockey fan. No large town or city should be without a rink, it provides valuable recreational facilities for everyone within the local community. With ice sports in general becoming increasingly popular within our culture, to allow a town the size of Basingstoke to go without a rink is incredibly shortsighted by the local council. Romford, a town with a smaller population than Basingstoke has recently had a new rink built with full support from Havering Borough Council. #saveourrinks

We lost our ice rink in Stevenage, Hertfordshire to a carpet store. The rink was so popular, it was devastating when it went. Such a marvellous thing to do, please keep the Basingstoke rink open! It's too late for us in Stevenage, don't let it happen to Basingstoke!

You’d being taking away a leisure facility that is utilised and enjoyed by a large number of the Basingstoke community. Shame

Although this may not effect me personally, I know how much it means to keep a rink up and running for the local and those who use it. Best of luck

This is a great facility which is utilised by all. Ice Hockey is a must have sport to teach the youngster team sport and commitment

You have a good ice hockey team and a great youth system, you must keep the ice rink, or even look at a joint partnership with the council.
