A site survey was conducted and the following quality issues arose:• Hanley Park (Western area) and Florence Tennis and Bowling Clubs (SouthEastern area) were considered to be the best quality sites in the City;• The sites with the poorest scores tend to have problems with their surfaces(such as cracking and moss growth), nets and fencing. These courts includethose at Bakewell Street Park, Fenton Park (both South Western area) andBeaufort Road (South Eastern area).
