Yesterday, representatives from user groups at Thames Ditton Centre for the Community including, Boomerang Bags, Men in Sheds, Bridge and Art groups, submitted a petition signed by over 1,200 Elmbridge residents calling for Elmbridge Borough Council to abandon their plans to close the centre and continue running and managing it directly.
Thames Ditton Centre for the Community is widely used by a range of user groups and a dementia support group also operates out of the centre. I recently visited the centre to meet with user groups to see how valued the centre is as part of the Thames Ditton community.
The user groups have my full support in their efforts to save Thames Ditton Centre for the Community. Add your name to the petition here.
