Lewisham Council finally backed down and our playclub is staying open. We forced them to see that this community is not going to let them destroy our children's future without a fight. Keep watching these bureaucrats because we are not letting our guard down now.

Petition to Lewisham Council
The local community are filing this petition to stop the closure of the Telegraph Hill playgroup.
The Telegraph Hill Generations playclub is threatened with closure in May 2013 as part of the proposed council cuts. The playgroup has been part of our community for the last 50 years. What will the local community do without this vital community service?
The Telegraph Hill Playgroup is central; situated in a beautiful park, with a variety of indoor and outdoor play equipment for preschool children. Through using this local facility it offers a wide range of learning experiences, such as learning about the world, making friends and developing social skills. The club also offers parents, grandparents and carers, a chance to meet other people in their local community to share ideas and experience. Over 200 parents, grandparents, caeres use this facility each week.
If this playgroup is closed it will create a sense of isolation for many of its users and be another breakdown in our community. The cost of keeping Telegraph Hll playgroup in operation would be outweighed by the value-added benefits to the community.
The following petitioners ask Lewisham Council to keep the Telegraph Hill Generations playgroup open.

Lewisham Council thinks we will just go away quietly while they slash our essential services. We need to hit 250 signatures immediately to prove they cannot ignore us. Send this link to everyone you know right now so we can force them to face the consequences of their cuts.

spent so many mornings here with my little one dont take this away from us
KEEP IT OPEN. lewisham council needs to find the money elsewhere instead of targeting our parks and kids.
Telegraph Hill wont be the same without the playclub. Total madness to shut it down.
Please dont do this. This place is an absolute lifeline for local families.
THATS JUST WRONG. fifty years of history and they want to close it for budget cuts? get rid of the councillors instead
