My name is Colin Lynch, and I am a 73-year-old resident of West London. Sports have always been a significant part of my life. From football and cricket in my youth to playing cricket at a decent level as an adult, and later bowls, sport was my gateway to exercise and socialising.
However, knee problems eventually forced me to retire from bowls, leaving a void in my life. The lack of exercise and social interaction led me into the clutches of depression, a state where hope seemed a distant memory.
That's when a friend introduced me to Perivale Park Golf Club. Joining this club was a decision that changed my life. The golf course offered not just physical activity but a community where I found friendship and support. It was here that I saw my mental health gradually improve, surrounded by the camaraderie of fellow members.
Now, the potential closure of Perivale Park Golf Club looms over me, threatening to plunge me back into isolation. This isn't just about losing a sports facility; it's about losing my sanctuary. As the only accessible 9-hole flat course suitable for my physical condition and within my budget, its loss would be devastating.
I wonder, does the Ealing Labour Council recognise the impact this decision will have on the physical and mental well-being of its community members like me?
