I just hung up the phone and I am honestly shaking because the council finally agreed to open the courts year round which is huge and I guess we actually did it. My head is spinning a bit but please keep checking the gates because we need to make sure …

I spent the morning staring at the locked gates again and thinking about how much potential is just sitting there gathering dust while the grass grows. It is honestly exhausting trying to get a straight answer from the council but I am still typing up emails and waiting for them to finally acknowledge that people actually want to use the place.

Seeing the numbers creep up toward that two hundred and fifty mark is honestly wild but I really just want to get these courts open before the weather breaks completely. If everyone who already signed could just grab one person from their house or maybe a neighbor to add their name we might actually get someone from the council to finally look at this.

I just saw the count ticking up toward that hundred mark and it is honestly wild how many of you stepped up to back this. It would be amazing to hit that triple digit milestone before the sun sets today because keeping the pressure on the council is the only way they actually notice us (even if they keep acting like they are too busy).

Tennis should be an all year-round game for everyone not just the privileged few who have access to indoor facilities. Get these courts back open pronto! Richard, Bridgend Lawn Tennis Club
Having coached many players from glynneath who have won British junior tennis championships and they've gone on to become coaches it's really important that the local kids get a chance to play all year round
It is totally wrong of the Council to suggest it's a 'health and safety' issue that the courts can't be used until april due to ice ! There is nothing wrong with the court surface as it is and anyway a disclaimer notice on the courts e.g. Play at your own risk would suffice
Tennis has beennplayed all year round throughout my life (I am 62) with no issues. this proposal by Glynneath council is an attempt to close the courts on a permanent basis . A simple disclaimer on the courts re weather conditions would suffice
I totally disagree with the tennis courts being closed. If anything money should be spend on refurbishing them the amount of children that attend the tennis club is amazing and it keep the children of the village of the street and out of trouble
I think they should maintain and keep it safe and open.. for the children today... and then for there children in the future.. keep the fitness up for children x
More facilities are needed in glynneath

The town council should be ashamed of themselves. They should be supporting the community. Could not the courts be transferred to a community organisation to run? Could look for some grants to improve the facilities then.
