Tennis tournament brings parking problems
Cars try to pass each other, bumping regardless onto pavements, on a stretch of road between two notorious blind corners. (All the residents on this stretch have off-road parking). I saw a woman in tennis gear by her Mini, with 4 children queuing to climb into the back - she was on the pavement, the young children were in the road! Madness and stupidity!
Why, when the club has publicised a new area for the convenience of it’s members, do people still park all along Military Road? Are the members perhaps being charged for entry to their own ground?

Hide AdMilitary Road is a busy through route to the Military Canal, Appledore and beyond. It has a 30 mph limit finishing at the club’s eastern end, used at this time of year by large farm vehicles. Emergency Services would find it almost impossible to get through especially at around 5 pm. We know to expect this during the very much busier Rye Bonfire celebrations, but it seems wrong to ask the overstretched police to be involved when the solution lies in the club’s own, well endowed, turf.
