1. Summary

1.1 Project Overview

This report is intended to give an overview of the initial application process and outcomes of the recent fencing project undertaken at West End LTC and supported by North County.

At the outset of the project we were given a great deal of support and guidance by our County Development Officer, Mandy Martin. It was only with this support and backing that we were encouraged to make the submission and although the cost estimates made at the time of the application are still valid the overall work programme undertaken by the club has exceeded the initial plan.

The change in the scope of the project was brought about by the enthusiasm generated by being awarded the funding from North County, which then inspired many of the club members to lend a hand to make the overall impact of the project much greater than original budget might have suggested.

1.2 Project Impact

The images contained in section 3 of this report try to convey some of the impact made by the improvements around the courts at West End as a result of this project. As can be seen from these pictures the general landscaping as well as the condition and appearance of the sports fencing makes a dramatic improvement to the overall impression of this tennis facility.
