Works have been going on around the perimeter of the tennis/netball courts recently in order to improve the drainage in that area. Extensive research was carried out several weeks ago to find a solution to the standing water that was sometimes found at one end of the court after particularly heavy downpours, which can have a detrimental effect on the performance qualities of the surface and also make it unsafe to use.

The new drainage solution is in preparation for the resurfacing of the courts due to take place later this year.
