As you may be aware Manor House, Haddenham Road, has been closed since before Christmas.
This community centre provides a space for many groups of all ages; before and after schools clubs, playgroups, bowling, yoga, Asian elderly club, Allotment Society to name but a few.
The building has great facilities, including catering, art studio, pottery studio and kiln, safe outdoor play areas for the children and stands in lovely surroundings with some amazing old trees and wildlife. An area of nature in the middle of an ever expanding city.
It is missed by all who use it, especially the children who are currently re-housed in a cramped porta cabin, and have to walk outside to get access to the toilet. The Asian elderly club who met there everyday and shared lunch together, are missing the beautiful surroundings where they took daily walks amongst the trees and squirrels.
The Manor House has an atmosphere of peace and tranquility that is increasingly hard to find in a busy city and the community are missing this centre.
This petition is to bring to the attention of the local council/councillors the need for this building to be re-opened.

The momentum is undeniable now. The council cannot ignore us much longer.

The council is still refusing to provide a clear timeline for reopening the building. I am meeting with local representatives next week to demand some real answers.

stop tearing down history just to build more flats. leave the manor alone.
Used to go to the bowling club every wednesday. We need this place back open for the community.
KEEP IT OPEN. such a beautiful spot and the only place around here that actually brings people together.
My kids grew up going to the playgroup here. It is such a shame to see it just sitting empty and going to waste.
The yoga classes were the highlight of my week. So many people rely on this centre.

Ridiculous that they closed it. Needs to be back in use for the elderly groups ASAP.
