I am creating this petition for it to be potentially taken further into consideration by the Wolverhampton council. As I feel it would benefit for the community. 

I love to skate however don’t have access to a near by rink without having to travel a fair distance, especially being unable to drive. It takes a long time and is more expensive. Which I do feel others may relate with. I believe having an ice rink in Wolverhampton would benefit us a lot as a community. For tourist attractions, potential jobs, entertainment, physical fitness and simply just enjoying a day out with friends. I also think it would be nice to have a Wolverhampton ice hockey team (wolves hockey) which could be played professionally or just for a bit of fun for everyone. Even having potential clubs for both adults and kids. 

Skating can improve your endurance, strength, balance, agility, coordination and stamina, it's good for your bone density too– something that's really important as we get older. And if done regularly, it's great for muscle toning and weight-loss. Skating is also known for begging a great physical fitness activity as well as a good wellbeing activity. 

Skating is amazing for cardiovascular health as well as the brain. It builds muscle memory and quicker recall. Studies have also shown physical activity’s like ice skating and roller skating release endorphins which is a stress reliever, therefore helping with anxiety.
