1877年に創設された #ウィンブルドン 選手権(The Championships, Wimbledon)は、#テニス 界で最も伝統あるトーナメントであり、世界四大グランドスラムの一つです。All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club( #AELTC )が主催するこの大会には、毎年約50万人の観客が2週間にわたって訪れます。
⚖️🎾🌳 Wimbledon Park was back in the High Court last month.
To understand the tangled legal questions, trust law, planning permission and public land, at the heart of the #AELTC expansion, read our report:

Quote from Dr Peter Day, successful litigant, Supreme Court, Day vc Shropshire. "I wish SWP well. Similar to my Shropshire case, as decided by the supreme court in March 2023, where a local authority had sold land subject to a trust, but had failed to comply with the necessary requirements including advertising the fact, the rights of the public under the statutory trust have not been extinguished. Local authorities have a responsibility to take stock of how they hold the grounds, walks and open spaces made available to the public to enjoy. Ignorance is no excuse."

Great crowd outside the Royal Courts of Justice this morning for @SaveWimbldnPark
ahead of #StatutoryTrustCase against @Wimbledon
#AELTC. Thanks to all who turned out this morning.
Protest board saying "Grass - not always green"
Protest board saying "Racquets not rackets"
#savewimbledonpark are in the High Court on 16th Jan v #AELTC. I did a sandwich board last time, but it was really inconvenient, so it's one or the other this time. Any preferences?

🏛️ 🎾 Wimbledon expansion: a Lords amendment designed to sidestep legal barriers has failed. #AELTC faces January trust case + Court of Appeal review.

During the debate, O'Donnell railed against the legal uncertainty facing the scheme and spoke of the economic and environmental benefits of the plans for what opponents have described as an "industrial-scale tennis complex". He received an £86,000 payout as a member of the former golf club for agreeing to the sale of the disputed land at Wimbledon Park. Despite O'Donnell's passionate advocacy of his amendment, many peers across the benches were fiercely against, arguing that it would erode protection for public green spaces and make it harder for communities to mount legal challenges. Perhaps Tory hereditary peer Lord Lucas summed up best when he called the amendment "an undesirable bit of retrospective legislation designed to enable the All England Lawn Tennis Club not to have to negotiate fairly with the people it is disadvantaging as a result of its plans". The amendment was rejected.
Nice piece from @privateeyenews.bsky.social re #AELTC plans for #WimbledonPark . A bit of skulduggery too far even for the Lords.
⚖️ The battle over Wimbledon’s £200m expansion is far from over.
👉 Save Wimbledon Park is appealing the High Court ruling.
👉 In January, another case will test whether a statutory trust still protects the land.

⚖️ High Court ruling exposed paradox: planning authorities don’t need to decide if a scheme is actually feasible or lawful — only whether it is “desirable in the public interest”. 2/2

🎾🌳⚖️ Though the Wimbledon tournament is over, the legal battle isn’t: last week, campaigners took @london.gov.uk and #AELTC ’s park expansion to court. Judicial Review outcome pending.

Pouring lorryloads of concrete over it to create dozens of new tennis courts is not the best, and AELTC saying "we just want the best result for the local area, for Wimbledon, for the country" is infuriating. #AELTC #wimbledon #tennis #merton
Next Tues & Weds - 8 & 9 July - Save Wimbledon Park Ltd is bringing a Judicial Review against the GLA's decision to give the #AELTC planning permission to build on the former golf club in Wimbledon Park. Come and make your voice heard! Meet 7:30am @ Wimbledon Station with your banners!
I'm getting tired of complaining to the #BBC about Andrew Castle and his biased comments about the #AELTC proposed expansion. He's clearly trying to sway opinion. The BBC are hopeless. They platform any fool with minority views based on nothing at all. #savewimbledonpark
Three-seed American Jessica Pegula out of #Wimbleon after 1st round loss 6-2, 6-3, to Elisabetta Corriaretto ranked no.116.
Pegula’s error-strewn play in stark contrast to title win over Iga Swiatek Saturday at Bad Homburg.
Seeds falling fast at #AELTC
A decorated tree stump with the slogan "save our park: is this our future? Save Wimbledon Park".
Street art protesting #AELTC plans to destroy the environment in the part of Wimbledon Park they own, despite having promised, on purchasing for a son, never to build there. I won't give its location, since last year the AELTC sent their find round in the night to remove posters etc from 1/2
Somebody needs to tell Andrew Castle that there's a high court hearing coming up about #AELTC plans to bring the qualifiers on site. Unnecessary and environmentally debating. #Wimbledon will always be the premier grand slam. #tennis
Excellent exposition of the bones of what #AELTC have been up to.

Another public meeting arranged for an update on the campaign to save our metropolitan open land. This case has implications for the whole country. #savewimbledonpark

Headline 1: Plans spark debate over park development. Text: Any future development with protect and celebrate the heritage of the park, respect the green open spaces and stay true to our ethos of tennis in an English garden, and - importantly - be delivered in partnership with the local community. Headline 2: Trust Lost in Wimbledon Tennis Text: And for a club which prides itself on being a jewel in the crown of its community to be effectively taken to court by local residents is an extremely uncomfortable position.
2 Daily Mail extracts #AELTC #Wimbledon #SaveWimbledonPark
They’ve done none of what was promised in the first.
And even the Daily Fail recognises their poor behaviour in the second.

Fifty Metropolitan Open Land (Green Spaces) are under threat of development in the London area.
If #WimbledonTennis #AELTC get permission to build over #WimbledonPark it sets a precedent – where next ?
Please support the fightback.

The Judicial Review of GLA planning for #AELTC #Wimbledon to build a stadium as big as the Albert Hall, other buildings, 38 #tennis courts, kms of roads etc on the highest grade of protected green space,won't come cheap. If this is lost, greenspace anywhere could be threatened by Big Sport.
