Neighbours were worried about bat population

A TENNIS club in Hampstead has withdrawn plans to install floodlights around its courts following an outcry from neighbours over “light spillage”.
The West Heath Lawn Tennis Club, off Croftway, wanted to put up nine 20ft floodlights around two outdoor courts.
But neighbours said the changes would prevent children sleeping and harm the area’s bat population.
