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.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
