Dear Residents and Supporters,

We, the undersigned, urgently petition Falkirk Council and its elected representatives to reconsider the potential closure of Grangemouth Stadium as part of their strategic property review.

Grangemouth Stadium is more than just a sports facility; it is a vital community asset that contributes significantly to the well-being, recreation, and athletic development of our community. Grangemouth Stadium also stands as not only a vital community asset but also a national facility of great importance to athletics.

The closure of Grangemouth Stadium would have severe repercussions on our community and its residents. It serves as a hub for physical activity, a platform for aspiring athletes, and a space where families come together. We believe that the preservation of such a facility is crucial for maintaining the health, happiness, and cohesiveness of our community.  Beyond its local significance, the stadium also holds a national standing as a facility crucial to the broader athletics community in Scotland.

We, the undersigned, call upon Falkirk Council and elected representatives of Falkirk to:

 1. Recognise the importance of Grangemouth Stadium as a community asset and not just a national facility.
 2. Explore alternative solutions to closure, considering the impact on the local community.
3.Acknowledge its national importance to athletics, contributing significantly to the development of athletes across Scotland and engage in open dialogue with community stakeholders, Scottish Athletics and Sport Scotland to find a collaborative solution.

By signing this petition, we express our strong opposition to the closure of Grangemouth Stadium and appeal to Falkirk Council to prioritise the well-being and recreational needs of its residents.

Preserve Grangemouth Stadium for current and future generations. Our community deserves to retain this local/national asset that contributes to the well-being and athletic development of our community and far beyond our borders.

Thank you for your support.
