Tennis and Basketball courts
PROJECT TITLE
DETAILS OF
PROJECT
There are 17 tennis courts and 7 basket ball courts in the parks.
Most tennis courts require resurfacing: four are currently
unuseable. Fences have decayed and in many cases do not allow
access for mechanical sweeping. There is no regular maintenance
regime in place.
An independent consultant was retained to survey the facilities and
to recommend action.
The programme set out below provides for resurfacing of all courts
over five years plus reconstruction of those at Auriol where tree
roots and slippage are causing problems.
While there is an issue about whether all the courts should be
retained some certainly will be and the programme does not need
to be delayed while a conclusion is reached.
