The closure is officially off the table. T.S. Palatine stays open because we refused to let it go quietly.

T.S Palatine Watersports Centre, has been in Rochdale for over 50 years. It has provided great facilities and watersports to all Cadet forces, and those cadets have visited from around the country, as well as other youth groups. The people who have used the Centre, are disgusted after hearing that the Centre is to be closed, for financial reasons, however 3 other centres are being opened in England. Not only will people miss out on using a fantastic watersports centre, staff, some of whom have worked there for over 20 years will lose their job.

The momentum is undeniable. It is clear that Rochdale will not let this place disappear without a fight.

The staff are brilliant there and have helped so many local kids over the years. They dont deserve to be out of work like this.

Rochdale needs this facility. Dont tear down our history just for money.

Used to go here with the sea cadets in the late 80s. Absolute shame to lose it after all this time.

My lad loves this place. Why close a perfectly good centre that kids actually use? Madness.
