Can you support The Swanspool Bowls Club?

At a meeting on January 14th 2025, Wellingborough Town Council approved the tender process for an Adventure Golf Course in Swanspool Gardens. The Council are proposing to destroy Swanspool A green (the bottom green nearest the Pavilion) to make way for the golf.

The A green (nearest the Pavilion) is their only playable green and has been in use for over a 100 years.

The B green (enclosed by fencing) has not been in use for over 6 years and has been badly neglected by successive councils. It would cost over £40k to reinstate and only be ready for the 2028 season.

Please sign this petition if you want Wellingborough Town Council to retain the A green for public bowling and utilise the B green for their Adventure Golf Course.
