The petition organised by residents in East Cambridgeshire needs 100 more signatures from East Cambs residents today if it’s to be allowed to be debated at the District Council’s meeting next Thursday.

To achieve a debate in the (online) council meeting next Thursday evening, the organisers need over 2,000 signatures from people living in the East Cambridgeshire district.

And they’re about 100 short.

The signatures from Chatteris residents are wonderful evidence of support, but the district council won’t count them as Chatteris is in Fenland.

So if you live in East Cambridgeshire, haven’t yet signed the petition, and believe that Mepal Outdoor Centre should be allowed a future as an outdoor leisure and activity centre, please head to https://www.change.org/p/ecdc-mepal-outdoor-centre-to-remain-a-leisure-centre and sign the petition.
