It's already been signed by over 1,500 people and aims to get North Yorkshire Council to commit resources 'without delay'.
Started by Matthew King, the online petition states:
'Scarborough Athletic Football Club, a cornerstone of our community, faces an impending challenge. Their ability to host and play games next season is at risk due to the deteriorating condition of the 3G pitch at Scarborough Sports Village. Immediate action is required to restore this vital community asset.
The 3G pitch has been central to sports and physical activities for the residents of Scarborough, promoting healthy lifestyles and team spirit. Unfortunately, the current state of disrepair has rendered the pitch unsafe and unfit for use by Scarborough Athletic as well as local sports enthusiasts. It is paramount that North Yorkshire Council addresses these concerns and prioritizes the refurbishment of this facility.
Restoring the 3G pitch is not just about sports; it's about investing in community well-being, youth development, and the economic benefits that come from attracting spectators and hosting games. A well-maintained pitch will ensure that Scarborough Athletic can continue to thrive and inspire the next generation of players and fans.
North Yorkshire Council, with its duty of care to the community, must commit resources to this project without delay. The repair of the 3G pitch will also uphold the reputation of Scarborough as a vibrant and attractive place for sporting events.
We need your support to send a strong message to the council that the community values its sports infrastructure and requires action now. Let's keep the heart of our local sports scene beating strong by ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all.
Sign this petition to urge North Yorkshire Council to take immediate action and restore the 3G pitch at Scarborough Sports Village for the future of Scarborough Athletic Football Club and our community's sporting pride.'
