Access to the free tennis courts in Langland could change under proposals being considered by Mumbles Community Council following complaints about damage and their use by people playing football. It could mean booking the courts via an app, which would unlock a gate via a code, possibly in tandem with a hiring fee although nothing has been decided as yet.
The community council leases three of the six Langland courts from Swansea Council and has invested just over £100,000 in two of them. It created a temporary basketball court on the third at a cost of just under £11,000.
Concerns have been raised about inappropriate use of and damage to the two refurbished courts. It has also been suggested that paid-for tennis coaching takes place on them, blocking others who want to play for fun.
