Its a disgrace what is being proposed. This and releasing greenbelt land. Destroying the town, the council leaders should be dragged out into the streets.

Manage it better and promote it if it's loss making. The council were not elected to make decisions like this.

It's St Helens Council all over, take away from the people that count to fund their own greed, only way to stop this is get them out, someone filling their pockets off this one that's for sure.

this would have a detrimental affect on the wider community if it were to close. It has regular use from a diverse range of people, and as already expressed is a valued part of our community. To remove it would be a sad blow to our community.

Closing the park and it's facilities is scandalous and it should be kept open.

I can't believe that a park that was left by Michael Hughes for the wellbeing and enjoyment of the people of St Helens is being considered for sale by the very council that is meant to represent and champion it's ward. Shame on you if this goes ahead. Are you considering the cost to people's health that will fall at your door when people can't take a breath of fresh air and exercise. Come on all you Saints. Fight for what is yours!

Scandalous that the younger generation with an interest in golf will have nowhere to play. Shame on St. Helens council

It's an absolute disgrace. If it's not making money then someone at the council should be fired. St Helens council are ruining this area. First this and then a halfway house 5 minutes away, they wouldn't do this is Rainford...

St Helens has very few facilities for recreation this is not government cuts it's not even a good excuse.

Removing the golf course means removing the only non- members, affordable course in the borough. With obesity levels and social isolation issues affecting all ages, it doesn't make sense to close it. Not everyone can afford, or wish, to become a member of the many gyms St.Helens has to offer. Green space and activity have also been proven to help mental well being, which the golf course provides.

This is municipal land. No council has any right to take this land off the public.

It's a disgrace if the course shuts. Greedy council looking after themselves
