In reply to Tracey Smith. The notice says use Haynes park courts; did this once but the diggers are now in there as well. Rise park courts were available on Friday just gone, but there are in a very poor condition. As an over 70 year old, I'm hoping I'll get a consessionry, or no charge. Just turning up on a Friday morning has been fun, but expect we'll get arguments now about whoes turn is it.i don't have a smart phone, so can't play that game.Never mind; we shall see. A bought a £850 Slingerbag tennis machine, to keep me active; shame if I can't use it, as, on a pension, not likely I can afford weekly fees.

In reply to Tracey Smith. So when you turn up to play and no court is available, then what?

What a shame another free amenity lost to the community. How many people will pay And how often will it be used. Space going to waste. And in all likelihood canalised because people can’t just use it as and when. ????

While I welcome any improvement to the tennis courts as some really need it, this looks like another opportunity for the council to make money. They are community courts and they should remain free to use and open to all, not bookable via an app. Residents are paying enough in council tax, no need for another fee. The beauty of this was that you were able to show up, no booking needed. And how about the people that do not have the app, phone, Internet, etc.
