June Head's comments (Letters, April 24) about the amount of money not collected for court fees for tennis in St Ann's Well Gardens, Hove, raise serious questions.

This is also the case in Hove Park, where a park attendant is not employed, presumably because of the cost. Unfortunately, this only encourages. vandalism.

Ironically, the only people paying to play tennis are the enthusiasts belonging to the park's clubs who hire "reserved" courts for their matches.

As there is no one there to reserve the courts, this only leads to confrontations with the public when they have to be requested to leave.
