As trailed for a bit, delighted to report that the tennis courts on Roe Green Park are practically now in operation and some youngsters are already using them. They go well with the Multi-User Games Area nearby, which we had installed some years back. This sports complex seems a far more appropriate use of the park than to allow some developer to sprawl all over with a swimming pool etc, especially with all the traffic it would have entailed.
We trust that as many residents as possible will dig out their tennis raquets and brush up their game, if only for the excellent exercise tennis involves. The front of the courts near the road will be fully landscaped in the Spring. We are assured that not even the strongest hit balls will reach the road, but we will keep that under review. Let us know if there are any teething problems. Enjoy.
On a less cheerful but important topic, residents will be glad to know that we are now getting the Council highway officers and police to take firm action to move the weekend mainly coaches on, who have been using Kingsbury Road as a station. Signs will go up shortly banning 5 Tonne or more vehicles from parking there Mon-Fri, midnight-7am, 8pm-midnight or at any time Sat & Sun.
This ban will be enforced vigorously by the police. It will be for the coaching companies to find alternative commercial arrangements elsewhere. Enough is enough.
