Norbury Park Lawn Tennis Club, with a rich history spanning over 135 years, avoided closure through a successful fundraising effort to secure a 999-year lease. The local council's move to sell the lease for debt reduction prompted the community to rally and raise necessary funds. With support from local MP Steve Reed and the community's contributions, the club not only preserves its status as the sole tennis facility in Norbury but strengthens its role as a vital community hub offering various activities beyond tennis, demonstrating the profound connection and commitment of its members.
We did it! Thanks to an incredible fundraising campaign, we're thrilled to announce that we've successfully raised the funds needed to complete the purchase of our land from Croydon Council.
I'm delighted that Norbury Park Lawn Tennis Club has been saved by the community. It's a historic asset and I was proud to support the fight to keep it in local hands.
