ALL tickets for a free skate session set to be held as part of a bid to save a rollerskating rink from closure have been claimed.

The owners of Colchester's Rollerworld, Jason and Anne Khan, has accused its landlord Petchey Holdings of making unreasonable demands, culminating in the issuing of a 'notice to quit' in July 2020.

The Khans are set to hold a free skate and Q&A event today between 7pm and 11pm, with the owners set to make a speech on the ongoing situation from 8pm.

They accuse their landlord of raising rent costs, failing to pay for repairs to the building's roof and putting up 'To Let' signs outside the attraction.

While tickets for the event have all been claimed, anyone wanting to hear what Rollerworld has to say about the situation and next steps including how they can support Rollerworld can join on either Instagram or Facebook.

Questions can also be posted online which will be answered live.

A spokesman for Petchey Holdings said: “Contrary to Jason’s recent comments to the press we can confirm we have instead been in negotiations with him for over two years and have had numerous meetings with him, and more latterly his advisors, and we’ve also previously offered him terms for a new lease below the market rate and remain open to continued negotiations."
