Redbourn Tennis Club

Redbourn Tennis Club have reviewed the feedback from our recent stakeholder consultation on providing lights to the courts on Greyhound Meadow and also have reviewed additional lighting technology that is now available. The club has decided to do an extended trial of portable LED lighting which the club has successfully tested over the last month. These battery powered lights are less than half the lumen of the netting lights that we have been considering and can be more effectively angled towards the court surface. The light spillage outside the court area is extremely low and we believe that whilst these lights are not sufficient for competitive matches they will enable Redbourn players to enjoy tennis on dark evenings and enable our junior coaching programme to operate throughout the year. The lights will be used only on the two courts nearest to the clubhouse at this stage and as we are coming into British Summer Time we don't anticipate that the lights will be required very frequently. We would like to thank everyone who completed the survey for their feedback. The club has listened carefully to your views and we will continue to work together with our community to provide great facilities for the village that cause minimal disruption to our neighbours and wildlife.
