“I am against the AELTC development because, at every level, it is a fundamentally bad idea”.
This Green Belt and Grade II* listed park with beautiful veteran trees, areas rich in biodiversity, and part of a Capability Brown landscape is now under threat from plans for an industrial scale tennis complex.
CPRE London will be holding an online event and discussion on Wednesday 2nd November 2022, 1-2pm, about the AELTC expansion plans and the Save Wimbledon Park campaign.
sign up for the event.
CPRE London say: "The All England Lawn Tennis Club’s (AELTC) proposed expansion for a new 8,000 seat stadium, 38 tennis courts and ten maintenance hubs (one being 30,000 sq. feet) plus 9km of road/paving breaches covenants drawn up precisely to prevent such development.
Join us online to hear about the significance of the park and the issues at stake: its environment and rich biodiversity, its heritage and openness, and the importance of public access for wellbeing and recreation. There will be a discussion about the protections put in place to preserve all of this, and why these issues are so critical and topical.
