POSSIBLE CLOSURE OF TOOTING BEC RUNNING TRACK – We have requested if we would consult our members regarding the closure.
The response to our petition from local residents and users of the track has been overwhelming. In less than a week we have collected hundreds of signatures, and support is increasing all the time.
The track is a real community asset, used by schools, running groups, exercise classes and so many more.

By signing this petition you have shown your support for protecting the track, and making sure it remains affordable and open to everyone in our community.
In order to demonstrate the level of support we have, we are going to need to collect lots more signatures – and that’s where you come in, however much time you have to spare… Take 1 minute and click on these links to share our petition with your friends on Twitter and Facebook
