Victory Ground Tennis Club, which has nearly 200 members, is at risk of being replaced by padel courts, according to reports. The issue is linked to a dispute over rent, with the club and its supporters opposing plans they say would change the site’s use from community tennis to padel courts. Club spokesman Steve Daniel is quoted saying the proposal would mean losing a community sports facility. The reports describe the situation as a conflict over the future of the courts and the terms under which the land is used. Supporters argue that the change would have an impact on local access to tennis as a community sport, while the underlying plans involve replacing existing tennis provision with padel. The reports frame the dispute as ongoing and focused on whether the tennis club can remain operational and retain its facilities. No resolution is reported in the provided accounts.
