Reconsider Ashburnham realignment project threatening Liftlock Golf Course.
Reconsider Ashburnham realignment project threatening Liftlock Golf Course.
The Issue
Liftlock Golf Course has been a beloved community hub in Peterborough since 1963, providing not only recreational space but also fostering a sense of community spirit. With its 27 holes and full driving range, the golf course has been a haven for golfers of all skill levels, nurturing talents from beginners to advanced players. It is home to a variety of leagues, including men's, women's, and mixed leagues, as well as professional teaching and junior camps throughout the summer. This thriving environment supports roughly 30 full and part-time employees, who significantly contribute to the area's economy.
The proposed Ashburnham realignment project threatens the existence of this treasured golf course. Destroying such an integral part of our community seems unwarranted, especially when considering the multiple benefits it offers. The community stands to lose not just a recreational venue but an essential part of its identity and heritage. The postponement or reevaluation of the project could save the course and protect these values.
The city of Peterborough prides itself on its dedication to preserving community spaces and promoting local employment. Allowing the realignment project to advance unchecked not only jeopardizes these principles but also disregards the voices of community members who cherish and actively utilize Liftlock Golf Course.
Several alternative routes and solutions could achieve the project goals without compromising the golf course. We urge city planners and decision-makers to conduct a thorough and inclusive consultation process to explore these alternatives. Entail environmental and social impact assessments to ensure any progression aligns with community needs and values.

Peterborough's cherished community spaces. We call upon the city to pause the current plans and work collaboratively with stakeholders to find a solution that respects the community's interests.
Sign this petition to help protect
Liftlock Golf Course and ensure that it continues to serve Peterborough for generations to come.
