The Issue

My daughter attends Rickmansworth Park JMI School, a much-loved institution by all the kids and their parents. We are a small state school with limited outside space and funds, and for 50 years, we've relied on Rickmansworth Park as our only grassed area for sporting activities and outdoor learning such as geography, science, and wellness. Now, Three Rivers Council wants to charge the school an hourly rate to use this public land, which we feel is a totally unfair and detrimental decision for our children. 

This change would severely impact our children's education and physical activity opportunities. Being active is so important and something the government encourages; yet the local council wants to restrict our children! Please sign this petition to ensure that Rickmansworth Park JMI School can continue using Rickmansworth Park free of charge for any educational or sporting events. It's a free space to others, it should be free for our children too! Thank you for your support. 

Please note, we are purely looking for support and not as a fundraising opportunity. Thank you!
