The University financial year ends 5th April. Each department has to submit their budgets shortly for the 2015/16 year. Maintenance budgets have been cut enormously in the last few years, so if you want them to allocate monies for refurbishment of the squash courts, I would suggest that you (a) set up a meeting between SUSU, Sport & Wellbeing and Estates early March (b) At the meeting you submit the refurbishment costs (given to you by England Squash who have visited the courts and put in their recommendations) (c) As money is tight, perhaps the Squash Club would be able to assist with the funding from their coffers (d) A closer working relationship with Sport & Wellbeing would be well advised for future goodwill.

I use the courts several times each semester, the state of them is pretty poor and a renewal would be great.

People will drift away from the sport if the courts are not properly maintained, get them fixed

Play on the courts regularly. Only a matter of time before a serious injury occurs if nothing is done.

I play on these courts regularly, and the poor conditions affect my match satisfaction, and dusty, slippery floors worry me that i may come of court with injuries

The courts are completely unsuitable for any level of squash and are in desperate need of renovation. It has become a safety hazard that urgently needs attention

The courts are the worst they've been in my 4 years at uni, to the point where I often slip or trip during games now.

I was arguing the exact same issues with SportRec back in 2006... Seems like nothing changes!!! However, regardless of court condition I'd still chop up Adi at both squash and drinking!

The state of the courts is shocking. Southampton will never be able to seriously compete with other universities unless they are properly refurbished

Hugely needed! The courts are becoming increasingly dangerous. A very important cause considering the amount they are used by hundreds of university students!
