The All England Club will press on with plans to expand the Wimbledon venue through its largest ever project - despite the immense opposition to the plan from locals who expressed dismay at an open public meeting.
Senior officials from the All England Club defended the scheme at a meeting called by Wimbledon MP Stephen Hammond on Wednesday night.
The meeting saw a collection of local organisations and residents speak out against the project illuminating its negative impact - including the size of the new show court and the closure of the main road during the tournament.
