I WAS very surprised to read the article concerning the possible relocation of the Beach Tennis Club. With so much of our village built up we need to conserve for future generations any green field sites that remain.

I take a keen interest in the wildlife of the village and very much enjoy the various species which utilise the courts and surrounding woodland of the club.

We should do all we can to preserve the existing club grounds. To have such a haven for wildlife in the heart of the village is something Hartford should protect and nurture.
