TENNIS players and coaches in Petersfield have been making their feelings known about "dangerous and intrusive" basketball nets which have been erected at the courts in the Avenue.

Ann Saunders from the Steep Tennis Club says the town's tennis facilities were "cut in half" when the posts and nets were installed and wrote to Petersfield Town Council to complain about the situation.
