- Save Wimbledon Park say development is ‘inappropriate’
- Mayor of London’s office has already granted permission
A local campaign group is taking legal action to stop the expansion of the All England Lawn and Tennis Club (AELTC), as the row over the future of Wimbledon reignited on Monday.
Save Wimbledon Park (SWP) said it has made submissions to the Greater London Authority arguing for a judicial review of plans to convert a swathe of the former Wimbledon Golf Club into a vastly expanded grand slam venue. The protest group says it has taken this “momentous” decision to stop “inappropriate” development of the 29-hectare (73 acres) site.
