Due to the storm local parks may be locked tomorrow.


Note from Southwark pasted below.



Dear Tennis players,


I wanted to make you aware that there is a strong likelihood that we will be closing some of our parks (the lockable ones) tomorrow due to the risk of danger to residents from tree and branch fall as Storm Eunice moves across the south east. The safety of our park users is a priority and this precautionary action is in line with the council's Tree Risk Management Strategy and best practice relating to high winds.


The aim is to reopen the parks that have been locked, and tennis activities, on Saturday subject to safety checks and any clearance works that are required. Not knowing the extent of the damage and debris that might be caused we are unable to judge how much time it will take for parks to be cleared, so court bookings will be cancelled on Saturday in case venues have not been cleared / reopened earlier. Court bookers within this time will be cancelled and refunded automatically. Anyone that might be affected outside of this time can request a refund by emailing [email protected] with photo evidence of the issue preventing play.




As is always the case with the weather, things may change over the course of the next 24 hours and the best way to stay in touch with developments is via the council social media channels. We invite you to share these posts more widely.


Our tree service team, tree contractors and grounds maintenance team will be on standby to deal with any issues as we will be keen to get back to normal service as soon as possible.


If you have any questions please contact the sports email - [email protected]


I appreciate your patience and understanding at this potentially busy time.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
