Hello,

Thank you all for your interest in our campaign. It is great to see people signing the petition.
I would like to answer your questions

The petition is hosted for free by a website called iPetitions. The optional donation would go to them, not us. We do not ask for donations and don’t encourage people to donate to them in this way. It’s a shame they feel the need to do this along with advertisements. To set up our own petition without the advertisements etc would have become costly.

The donation is optional, it doesn’t cost anything to sign the petition!!

If you want us to help you out you should at least give us all the information.

The reason there isn’t much information is because until last week there was no need for this campaign as there was no opposition to the bandstand being rebuilt. The council were waiting (5 years!) for an insurance claim to be settled. When the claim was settled work on the Bandstand would commence. This had the full backing of Mr.Hindleys group ‘The friends of OakhillPark’.

Bandstand set to rise from the ashes


What has happened to change their opinion we don’t yet know.

I have my own personal opinions of why the Bandstand should be rebuilt and will air them in the petition.
We want this campaign to represent the people of Accrington and all their views, not the views of one or a handful of people.
As you can see in the petition, people are stating many reasons for the bandstand to be rebuilt and also adding other great ideas. When we hand the petition to the council it will represent everyone who signed it and their opinions and not just ours.

We have limited time to get as many signatures as possible. If you support the campaign, please sign the petition and let others know about it.

Thank you for your time.
