Started by Petitioners for Squash 8 years, 3 months ago

We understand the squash courts at DL Sudbury Hill are to be closed from 31st August 2018.

The club did not carry out any consultation with users.

The courts are actively used (in some cases there is unavailability) and so closing these courts is not appropriate. Further we understand there are covenants in place for these courts to be kept open.

The undersigned object strongly to the proposed closure.

The members signing this petition reserve the right to cancel their memebership as a result of any closure of the squash courts. Members also reserve their rights to escalate this matter.

Both my young daughters started gawking 1-2-1 lessons and then a sat class/course with Erol. We bought all the equipment . If we had known that there was no long term gain we would have not gone ahead. Very disappointing.

The squash courts are one of the main reasons I joined the club. To replace a great sport with a fitness fad that will die out in a few years and be replaced by another is ludicrous.

These squash courts are actively used. In many cases I can't get a booking at the time I want.

Sudbury will no longer be a racquets club if there is no squash - it will merely be a tennis club and gym. What a terrible idea and management really need to listen to the members who are active squash players.

If the squash courts close I will be ending my membership with David Lloyd at Sudbury along with the my entire family membership of 6 people. There has been no consultation on this with members and it just about sums David Lloyd up!!

What a harsh move from DL. It's a family club and a racquet club. My whole family enjoy playing together and I can't believe DL has no respect for their routes . When were we going to be informed .
