Thanks for posting this Bex, I genuinely hope that this campaign's successful as I would love to come back to this place if it's still there.

Lovely. So pleased for you. 10,000+ concerned fans. NB, photographer, always have the window behind you when filming. Though, it is interesting to see the street scene. ☺

What you are doing is incredible and thoughtful! I and others I'm sure wouldn't have felt brave enough to do something like this so thankyou!!!!!!!!xx

Well done Bex, and thank you for putting this altogether. Lets hope the campaigns a success.

I'm not even from the UK, but I felt sad when I heard the news about The Experience closing. :-( Thank you for trying it with the petition !

You are an absolute legend! Thank you so much for everything you have done; let's hope all your hard work will pay off.

Completely the wrong people to hand it to. I'm sure others suggested to hand it to Cardiff Council or BBC Wales, which would have been far better and actually would have resulted in a response, but the people at the Experience are employees. They're not the ones making the decision about it closing, they're not involved in the decisions and they are unable to change the decisions. The Council, BBC Wales or BBC Worldwide should've been informed, as per the ignored suggestions, if you want the Experience to be saved. In the meantime, however, the closure is still apparently going ahead.

I will be delivering a copy to County Hall as soon as it can be arranged. I have contacted them via email and telephone on various occasions and when I tell them what I intend to do, they filibuster and tell me that I cannot hand over a petition unless my local councillor is there to take it. They keep telling me that they will 'get back to me' to arrange this, but mysteriously, they don't. So your suggestions haven't been ignored - I'm just trying to find a way to get a copy down there. My local Assembly Member has written personally to the Head of BBC Worldwide too, so this is another aspect that hasn't been ignored. The delivery at the DWE was a show of support by the fans who are aware that the staff there are just as upset as everyone else - and perhaps with more reason, as they'll be out of jobs soon.

I would suggest reading the update information that has been put on the petition page before commenting in ignorance. you might appear thoughtless and ungrateful otherwise.
