Site Access Improvements
To accompany the Plock Court Sports facilities development the existing site entrance from Plock Court to the Tennis Centre is to undergo surface and access improvements by;
Increasing the width of the road in strategic areas
Creating clearer vision lines along the road
Providing a stopping point where trees restrict widening
Improving kerbs and drainage
Incorporate markings to deter parking along the road
Works will be phased with contractor and visitor access organised to allow usage of the 3G pitches during the sports hall construction.
To gain access across the Tennis Centre site a new access road will pass across the front of the centre. Counter measures will be enforced to reduce traffic speed and parking, whilst providing safe crossing points for pedestrians.
