There were 29 responses to last week’s Tele-Talk question — “Do you think there is interest locally in opening a new gym/indoor tennis facility?” — all of which were against Cranmore’s decision to close down its fitness center and expressed a desire for another facility to offer an affordable option. The full selection of responses is printed here.

I am disappointed in the decision to close Cranmore Fitness. The indoor tennis and skiing was a major reason for my decision to retire in this area five years ago. In addition, I have spent 20-plus years coaching tennis, including most recent years at Fryeburg Academy. All high schools in the area need a place to practice and learn during the tennis season. Hopefully, enough of us can try and do something about this. It could fall on deaf ears, but we have some influential people that could make a difference. I am happy to do whatever I can do to make indoor tennis a reality for everyone in the valley. Dick Valliere.
