In mid- November we invited our neighbours along to BLTC to have a chat.

The evening was also to bring them up to speed with our development projects.

Despite clashing with the England vs Germany game we had a reasonable turn out of about 25 residents from Sandford Road, Hayes Road and Hayes Lane.

Pleasingly it seems we’re alright as neighbours and our mention of more floodlighting was not met with instant objections.

We have been asked to look at the old Hayes Lane entrance which has fallen into disrepair and also to notify residents when the Pavilion is used for functions (so they can vacate the area it seems).

The coaching team have agreed to reduce reliance on courts 1&2 as was requested of us.

To keep you informed progress updates will be provided here on the site.

Lastly, respecting our neighbours is not only good manners but common sense. Whether it’s our conduct, car parking or noise, please give them your consideration and bear in mind that each resident has the right to oppose any planning application we may chose to make.
