"there are very few places that offer activities such as this. i went here with school when i was little, it was amazing. makes kids and people appreciate the beauty and importance of nature that is quickly being forgotten in this increasingly abused world"
"An excellent centre providing an unforgettable and essential function in the development of the minds and spirits of almost all the children in the area."
"Stanley Head has been an excellent educational resource for our school. It has developed confidence, built on self esteem and allowed children to work co-operatively in a team environment. This would be a great loss to children who access it and i wopuld "
"We need more facilities and opportunities in OAA not less!!( local PE teacher and School Sports Co-ordinator"
"outrageous"
"Am all for saving this outdoor centre, it gives the community a sense of purpose to keep it running."
"Over the past 6 years I have been taking my classes to Stanley Head (Year 5 and Year 6). On each visit the children have enjoyed their time so much, that they have asked to go back the following year. The centre offers so much to children who may never be"
"The options and support for young people in Stoke on Trent are pretty limited as it is and it would be wrong to take away this great opportunity for the young people to complete the Duke of Edinburgh awards"
"I visitied Stanley Head with my school 15 years ago and had an inspiring experience. I don't mind paying tax to enable other kids to have a similar experience. Please don't close Stanley Head."
"The impact on young childrens lives experiencing the centre is incredible. Memories of such experiences will remain with the children for a lifetime! We cannot let this centre close!"
"young children dont get much fun and enjoyment these days why cut somethig that helps them to gain confidence and have fun at the same time. keep it open and going the young ones deserve a place like stanley head."
"To lose Stanley Head would be tragic!! Keep it open our young people really need places like this"
"Good centre, well set up and modern, staff provided priceless help for my SPA and it would be a great shame to see it close."
"Please leave the children out of the current cost cuttings and focus on the fat cats sat in their offices earning ridiculous money. They don't care about the children, but we do."
"This should be reconsidered, Stanley Head is an important part of Stoke on Trent, and should remain so for all young people in Stoke"
