The development not only benefits member bookings and club activities but also enhances the club's engagement with Greenfields Junior School.

The floodlights open doors to a wider range of after-school activities and curriculum tennis lessons, fostering a strong community partnership with the Green Oaks Federation.

Mr Jayawardena MP said: "These floodlights will provide the community with a glimmer of hope during the long winter nights, so that more tennis can be played by everyone. It’s great for Hartley Wintney Tennis Club, exciting for local schoolchildren, and positive news for the whole community.”
