Our family has operated a beloved bouncy castle business in Shibden Park, Halifax for many years, bringing joy and laughter to countless children and families. Recently, however, we have been informed by the park manager that we can no longer operate our business in this location; we have to leave the park, and were told so without prior notice or any clear reasoning provided.

This decision strikes at the heart of our family livelihood, and at the very fabric of our community connections. Families visit Shibden Park looking for a safe, fun, and affordable day out, and our bouncy castles have been a reliable source of entertainment for these visitors, young and old. It’s not just a business to us; it's a tradition that holds significant sentimental value. Our presence in the park forms a crucial part of the local charm and appeal that make Shibden Park a cherished destination.

There has been no complaint regarding our business operations, and we adhere strictly to all safety and health guidelines to ensure the well-being of our customers. The decision to remove us feels hasty and lacks consultation with the local community, whose lives and park experiences have been enriched by our presence.

We believe that the local council, who has the power to reverse this decision, may not fully understand the impact of losing our bouncy castle business on both the local economy and the families that frequent the park. By signing this petition, you can help us demonstrate to the local authorities the community backing we've had for years and the enthusiasm for us to remain part of the Shibden Park experience.

We kindly ask for your support in showing that Halifax residents and beyond value our business and want it to thrive along with the well-loved Shibden Park. Please sign this petition to urge the council to reconsider and allow us to continue bringing joy and excitement to our community as we have always done. Thank you for your support.
