Tennis in Roe Green Park

We forgot to say that this new facility, (if approved by planning) is entirely due
to our efforts to develop this park. For some time we have been lobbying the
Council to build on the Multi-games area and Trim trail which we secured a
while back as part of a 3year development plan. Unfortunately, the previous
administration (2006-10) abandoned this plan in favour of another 'dream'
bid for a swimming pool in the park. Of course, we would all like a swimming
pool in the area, but after the collapse of three commercial bids it was never
going to happen.

So, in 2011 that dream was abandoned in favour of a pool in Wembley Park -
which could be o'k for Kingsbury residents. But we pressed for the original
plan for tennis courts and other sports facilities in Roe Green to be revisited.
Pleased to say that with a new Labour administration we were able to
persuade the Council in these tough times to allocate £258,000 for this tennis
court plan and many other improvements (see earlier blog item). We don't
give up!
