Wonderful community service which has made such a vast impact on those young and old in the locality.

This is disgusting. The volunteers have made this cafe a wonderful, friendly, community based meeting point. As with everything, greed overtakes all the good work.

If this is true those concerned should be ashamed. A true community asset that needs to stay.

The Friends of Pennington Park have put there heart and soul into this Cafe, please look at the major benefit it is to the community and don't ruin it by opening it up to money hungry outsourcing. Thank you.

Would be a shame lo lose such a wonderful little cafe. It is a popular venue with very reasonably priced, good quality drinks and cakes. The cafe has brought so much to the park in many ways, especially the Christmas lunch they serve for local people who would otherwise be alone, The park has benefited so much from Pennington's Tea Rooms, it put the heart back in the park. I hope the council reverse their decision.

The FOPHP do more than just serve tea, they help bring the community together and keep up community spirits. I'm disgusted with the way Wigan Council is behaving in this matter and am strongly against FOPHP not maintaining control over the cafe.

This is disgraceful. It is such a wonderful tea room manned by volunteers who have given up countless hours for this to have been such a great success. Shame on the council.

Really very sad. The Pennington Tea Rooms and volunteers do so much for the community young and old. How many Wigan councillors use this facility and appreciate how much it means to the town of Leigh. The Volunteers put a smile on so many faces.

This is ridiculous. This tea room is ran completely by volunteers who do a fantastic job, even as far as giving up their Xmas day to feed others in need. Shame on Wigan council for trying to make a few extra ££s

That is a disgrace! These people have done a brilliant job at the café in the park and it should not be tendered out.

Leave it be to the people who are passionate about bringing the community back together again. Hard work by kind and beautifully spirited people for a greedy money making council who bleed dry the people of leigh already. Hang your heads in shame
