READING your article "Queen of courts serves an ace" (The Press, July 12), I would like to ask why Belinda Turnbull does not utilise the courts provided in her own village of Earswick.

We were given an amenity of two tennis courts in Earswick when the Fosslands development was "punched out" of the green belt over ten years ago.

I suppose it's Poppleton's gain and Earswick's loss. Anyone out there who would like to come and generate interest in our tennis courts please feel free to contact me.
