Ladywell Fields Tennis Court Refurb

Many of you will have noticed that works have commenced at the tennis courts in the north field, opposite the Hospital.   The work started on 9 Jan 2017 and the contractors are hoping to complete around the end of March 2017, though the timescale is somewhat weather dependent.

Floodlights will be installed in phase 2 (later than March, but hopefully not too long after).  This is a Council project delivered in partnership with the Lawn Tennis Association, the London Marathon Charitable Trust and Glendale.

Once upgraded - to high standards - access to the courts will require a digital fob (that will cost c.£30- 50 p.a. per individual or family) and an online booking system will enable fob access for pre-booked, one hour time slots.

Regular coaching sessions (at additional cost) will continue as now.
