Dear Councillors
I was so happy to learn the new plans for the Bonnyrigg Leisure Centre as I am a mother to 3 children (12, 10 and 8) who used to go swimming there, go to children's parties and soft play when they were younger. The proposals are fantastic as we would have a Community Centre on our doorstep and we do not have transport so it is difficult and expensive to travel to other places. The kids love going to places like Clown Around and Time Twisters but the bus journey/ies alone take around an hour to get there. I was so inspired that I am in the process of nominating the Centre for an Engage Mutual Community Grant which is from £5000 to £25000. We have no soft play facilities or places for kids to play and parents to meet in Bonnyrigg and I think using the building in this way will build Community Spirit. I also think the parties will be a success as there is also a lack of party venues in Bonnyrigg for children.
I would appreciate you taking my points into consideration and making the most of this amazing opportunity for the people of Bonnyrigg.
Thank you
Pauline
