Repair or resurface the netball and tennis courts at Kennington Park

The Issue

The Netball courts at Kennington Park are used by schools, university, social and charity leagues, clubs and back-to-netball sessions.  They are a vital resource the UK's most popular women's sport and sit 50 yards away from the office of England Netball Magazine's publisher.

Due to constant use, accumulated organic debris and woeful neglect, the surface of the courts has deterioted to the point of being dangerous to play on, come rain or shine.

As an umpire it is becoming harder every week for me to allow matches to go ahead.  As a player I expect to slip and fall a least once in every match I play there. 

The courts have not been resurfaced, treated or even cleaned for many years and will soon be too dangerous to use at all.

This petition requests that Lambeth Council provide urgent maintenance to this important community asset.

Responded
Lambeth Council is currently progressing maintenance work at this facility. In November 2014 the tennis and netball court surfaces at Kennington Park will be jet washed to clean the surface and improve drainage, and treated to remove moss. To refresh the marking of this popular facility we also plan to repaint the lines in spring next year, as this work requires fair weather conditions. Confirmed dates for works will be communicated to users of this facility by our sports pitch bookings operator GLL. To contact this service please email lambeth.parks@GLL.org or phone 0845 130 8998.
