Save Radcliffe Civic Suite
We the undersigned call on the council to revoke the decision to close and demolish the Civic Suite and call upon the council to properly fund and promote this vital and historic facility.
Why is this important?
Radcliffe Civic Suite is an iconic, historic and architecturally significant building opened by The Prime Minister, Harold Wilson in 1974. Radcliffe Civic Suite is of great significance to the Town and if properly managed, maintained and run could be a profitable and valuable asset well into the future.
Radcliffe has suffered more than any town in the metropolitan area from the loss of civic pride, history and identity due to a cycle of decline, cuts, closure and widespread demolition.
Plans to replace the suite are potentially years away and may never be realised in the current financial climate.
There is more than sufficient land adjacent to the Civic Suite for the proposed housing development without the need for demolition of the Civic suite.
