Somerville Tennis Club

The Mornington Shire Council has decided to remove the lights from Courts 4, 5 & 6. The lights on court 4 have already been removed, and despite the Tennis Committee commissioning an independent report that found the light poles on courts 5 & 6 were in perfect condition, the Shire Officers have decided they will still go ahead with the removal.

Therefore, only courts 1, 2 & 3 will be available for night time activities such as Night Competition, Social Tennis, casual court hire , etc., when these courts are not being used for Coaching or other regular activities.

The Committee of the Somerville Tennis Club apologise for this situation, but our suggestions of compromise, and protests to the Shire have been dissmissed, and our efforts to avoid this result has failed.

We would like to thank all those members who sent emails to the Council and signed the online petition.
