Stop RBWM demolishing Maidenhead Community Centre and moving us to an inadequate temporary site!

We the undersigned petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to Stop RBWM demolishing Maidenhead Community Centre and moving us to an inadequate temporary site!

RBWM promised "…to re-establish the Maidenhead Community Centre in a new purpose-built building (or part of a building) so it can perform all its current activities."
• clearly something the public supported (Cllr Hill)
• …huge amount of work undertaken at the centre, which provided a vital resource… (Cllr D Wilson)
• …continuity should be seamless… (Cllr Dudley)
• …essential that redevelopment did not squeeze out community facilities and that they were future-proofed (Cllr Dudley)
• …important role in addressing loneliness in the elderly (Cllr D. Evans)
Now:
a) RBWM will shrink us from 14,000 sqft to 3,000 sqft.
Even ignoring our garden and parking, that gives us half the space we have today. We won't be able to run all our activities, including lifelines for vulnerable people.
b) RBWM will kick us out in October and leave us in limbo for years.
When the bulldozers arrive, we're now told we will be squeezed into the back of the Town Hall.
Save Maidenhead Community Centre!
