I've visited this lovely little cafe several times. The food it's lovely and the staff friendly. It's a credit to the park and it's hardly fair that the current tenents should be ousted in the favour of profit.

Pennington tea room is the heart of the community. The people of Leigh should form a united front & don't back down.

Once again the powers that be have got it wrong. Wigan council should be ashamed of themselves.

What a shame the Council are looking to profiteer on the backs of hardworking people who have made a success of a business. A business model that works.

As this enterprise is being put out to tender. We are asking that Trisha Taylor be able to continue what she has been doing successfully. The place has come alive because of all her hard work.

Absolutely disgraceful, these people have made a success from nothing. If they had not made it successful the Council would have nothing to put out to tender. All they can see is £ signs with no regard to the voluntary work done to make it what it is. Typical Wigan attitude to Leigh.

I have moved out of the area to Latchford. But I have very fond memories of Pennington Park. Why would you want to axe something that obviously gives pleasure to the local community? You know the story of David and Goliath? Well watch out Wigan Council. David won't stand for this.
