URGENT CALL TO ACTION - This could be our last chance!!!
We are asking all Slappers to WRITE TO THE ISLINGTON COUNCILLORS immediately, expressing your dismay at the proposal to replace the Sobell ice rink with soft play, and requesting that the decision is 'called in', which will initiate a council process where the decision is fully reviewed and there would be an opportunity to input.
GUIDANCE AND TEMPLATES HERE: savesobell.co.uk
As many councillors as possible need to be emailed asking them to back our proposal. We just need 2 out of 50 to support this, and a number have already been at least sympathetic.
