We have recently found out that Bristol council are looking at closing Kingsdown Sport Centre, when they contract out for a new provider in March 2023. This will be a massive loss to the local community and also the future of our club.
This decision was made by Bristol’s Mayor Marvin Rees at a Council cabinet of Bristol City Council on 19th September without the local community or elected councillors for the area having any opportunity to make the case for the council to save Kingsdown Sports Centre.
Please help us support the centre by voicing your objection to the closure via the Council’s public consultation found on this link and going down to the bottom and clicking on the form under “Give us your views”. The consultation closes 7th November 2021 so please submit your objection by then!

There is also a paper petition at the entrance of the sports centre that you can sign.
Even if you do not play at Kingsdown, every bit of support will help.
Thank you!
