The plea to save 'the birthplace of disability bowls'

Available for over a year

Members of a bowls club in Gedling have warned the council that it's closure would have a devastating impact. Gedling Indoor Bowls club opened in 1987 and has more than 300 members including people under 18 and over 90-years-old. Gedling Borough Council plans to close the Richard Herrod Centre, where the bowls club is based, and the Carlton Forum Leisure Centre and replace them with 'Carlton Active', including a swimming pool and a gym. Our reporter Anna Whittaker visited the centre to speak to members, and director Ian Summerscales joined Summaya to explain how devastating the impact would be.
