Even after the many open and sometimes frank discussions over a long period between Poole Town FC and the anti-Branksome Rec improvements brigade – where the intentions of the plans have been clearly outlined and explained in detail – we still hear false rumours.

Last week I was asked if I was happy my children should be expected to pay to use the swings in the local park: “because if this proposal gets approval that is exactly what Poole Town will do at Branksome Rec”.

I implore the council to do the right thing and pass this motion and not be persuaded by the minority nimbys.

Future generations and the youth of today need it now!
