    Mid Sussex District Council has successfully secured funding to upgrade the eastern two tennis courts at Mount Noddy Recreation Ground. Work is due to start on 3 July and should be ready for play by the end of August 2023.

    All works to the courts are being fully funded by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) the rest of the masterplan improvements are funded from elsewhere so are working to a different timetable. To find out more about what is happening to the tennis courts, contact parksopenspaces@midsussex.gov.uk.

    Up to date plans for the rest of the park will be available to see soon

    During the public engagement which took place in February-March 2023, we heard people’s concerns about anti-social behaviour. The project team have been working hard to try to address these concerns in the short term whilst the masterplan is being developed for longer term benefits.

    One of these short term, quick wins, has been the removal of the boards from around the base of the tennis courts. These wooden boards were in place to be rebound walls if the courts were ever used for football. This meant they blocked views into the tennis courts, across the park and visually cut off the path to the north from the rest of the park. This caused people to feel unsafe.

    The boards were removed in early May to help make the park feel lighter and more welcoming, to improve sight lines and enable passive surveillance. This has been done with the support of Sussex Police.

    Landscape Architects are continuing to develop the plans. What this space to find out when we will be publishing them.
