Work has started on new cricket nets in Bradford on Avon's Culver Close.

The nets are being installed next to the tennis courts, with the work expected to take up to three weeks, depending on weather and ground conditions.

The council has assured that access to Culver Close from the main road near the tennis courts remains open, and the tennis courts will continue to operate as usual.

For the safety and convenience of the workers, a couple of benches have been temporarily removed, but they will be reinstated once the installation of the nets is completed.

The new nets are part of the council's ongoing efforts to improve recreational facilities in the area and encourage more residents to engage in sports activities.

The council has stated that the nets will provide a great opportunity for both amateur and seasoned cricketers to practice and hone their skills.

Residents have expressed their appreciation for the new addition, with many looking forward to using the facility once it is completed.

A spokesperson for the council said: "We are pleased to be able to provide this new facility for the community.

"We hope it will encourage more people to take up cricket and enjoy the many benefits of the sport."
