A petition to save a much-loved indoor play centre in South Gloucestershire from closure has received more than 5,000 signatures. This comes after Little Giggles soft play in Yate was issued an "eviction notice" and told it had until November 15 to vacate the premises.
The news sent shockwaves throughout the community and nearby regions that have benefited from its services for both children and adults since it opened five years ago. Operations manager Sarah Stafford, who has been with the company since its establishment, said the staff were "heartbroken" upon hearing the announcement.
"When we got the news our breath was taken away. The team work so hard and are fantastic at what they do so to see everyone’s hard work just ripped away is gut-wrenching," she added.
