See this article in Time & Leisure magazine talking about the #AELTC plans to build all over Metropolitan Open Land in #WimbledonPark: https://www.savewimbledonpark.org/post/time-leisure-magazine-wimbledon-park-developments

See this map savewimbledonpark.org/post/map https://www.savewimbledonpark.org/post/map-illustrating-aeltc-plans illustrating the #AELTC (Wimbledon Tennis) plans to build all over #WimbledonPark Metropolitan Open Land that they bought from #Merton Council in 1993 and promised not to build on and even signed covenants saying that they would not build on it. Their excuse to apply for planning permission to bulldoze and build all over it now ? “Times have changed”.

Little Egrets once hunted to extinction in Europe, now protected, are returning. The first one was seen at #WimbledonPark lake in 2019 and may breed. They can be seen perched up in old Crack Willow #trees that #AELTC plan to destroy. Help save the Little Egrets, Herons, #trees and all of the nature that lives in #WimbledonPark by signing the petition www.SaveWimbledonPark.org #rspb #BirdsOfTwitter

Please see this letter from @FoWimbledonPark to @Wimbledon #AELTC regarding the promise given between @MertonCouncil and #AELTC in 1993 for a dedicated public walkway AROUND #WimbledonPark lake.

@FoWimbledonPark volunteers hand clearing and raking the “Glade” in #WimbledonPark Horse Close Wood. The #Glade is managed as a traditional #meadow, for #biodiversity. Grass and other species are cut twice a year, first in early Spring and second in late Summer or Autumn.

@DarlingMagazine 1 December 2022: “All England Lawn Tennis Club’s (#AELTC) Expansion Plans Cause Concern With Locals. The discussion about the All England Lawn Tennis Club’s expansion plans into #WimbledonPark Golf Club across the road are heating up in SW19. Darling asked both sides of this campaign for their views on the effects they see the completion of the plans as they stand now, would have to the local Wimbledon Park residents and #nature within this #greenspace” https://www.savewimbledonpark.org/post/darling-magazine-all-england-lawn-tennis-club

The #Wimbledon #community Forum meets 19.15 on 30 November at Wimbledon Library. The future of #WimbledonPark on is on the agenda. The Forum is convened on behalf of #Merton Council to engage local people in local issues. #AELTC were invited to discuss their planning application to build a massive industrial tennis comp’ex on this #MetropolitanOpenLand (ie #GreenBelt) but turned down the invitation. We’ll still be discussing it anyway #SaveWimbledonPark https://www.savewimbledonpark.org

#AELTC urged to withdraw #WimbledonPark Planning Application by The Wimbledon Society and to start afresh. https://wimbledonsociety.org.uk/aeltc-urged-to-withdraw-wimbledon-park-planning-application-and-start-afresh/

#FriendsofWimbledonPark have today reminded #MertonCouncil officers of their promise to reseed the grass by the #WimbledonPark Road entrance, which was damaged by the #AELTC car parking and compounded by the funfair trucks for bonfire night.
We have also asked Merton to replace the tactile paving in the same area, which was also badly damaged by the trucks and is now moving around in the rain water, causing a trip hazard and impeding pushchairs, wheelchairs, mobility scooters etc.
