I heard that two councils, one of them our own, had decided to build a new swimming pool near our village. Great,a new one with a outdoor pool! But... ONe of the more religious local parties of the council next to ours only approved to the new build when it is made sure that the pool is closed on sunday's .. What? was my reaction, A small group of people is able to decide that we cannot swim on sundays anymore in the future? I have to drive 15 miles to the nearest pool when there is a pool next to our doorstep?
So I set up this free petition on the internet and put a posting on a local website.. Well things sure went fast:

And here for a rough translation
This link for the petition
I only wanted to show them that if they decide to close it on sundays, a lot of people will be very disappointed..
On tuesday there is meeting and I'm going to attend and ask them politely if they would reconsider their point of view regarding the sunday closure..
I just want to be able to swim on a sunday with my kids..
