We, the undersigned, petition To the City Mayor, Peter Soulsby and Leicester City Council to ensure that both Rushey Mead Library and the Rushey Mead Recreation Centre remain open and continue to provide services for the community. These two premises provide essential services for the Community. It is a lifeline for many people, men, women, the disabled, single mothers, elderly and vulnerable people, children, families and the Community.

There are no other Council Community facilities in the area and so we demand that there are no cuts to the provision and that both of the buildings remain open and continue the service provision.

(The Council has decided that the Library building should be closed and Library assets Transferred into the Rushey Mead Recreation Centre however this will adversely affect the quality of Library Services and Community Recreation services) Please sign the petition and give us your support.
