The Students’ Union has already denied this request, but the University is refusing to take no for an answer. They will put the request to the SU again in the summer term of 2011. The SU will continue to resist the pressure from the University to close Top Bar, but need explicit support from Essex students in order to convince the University that these plans are unacceptable.
We the undersigned strongly object to plans to close or relocate Top Bar. If this plan is implemented, our student experience will not be improved, but significantly worsened. We believe that Top Bar is worth subsidising in order to maintain its valuable contribution to student experience.

The momentum we have built proves the University cannot simply push these plans through without a fight. Post the link to your Facebook feed right now and email our student representatives to demand they maintain their resistance.

This place is essential for the uni social life i have spent so many nights here with my mates. Leave it be.
Keep top bar where it is. We dont need another overpriced restaurant run by the uni.
Top bar is literally the only good thing about this campus. Dont move it.
Are you kidding me? Half the size and no pool tables? This is a terrible idea and nobody asked for this.
So many memories in that place... leave it alone please. It isnt broken so why fix it???

Without the dj booth and space its basically just a hallway. Total waste of money.
