WER Joell Tennis Stadium To Close Temporarily
The WER Joell Tennis Stadium will close temporarily to allow for an assessment and building works, effective tomorrow [Aug 28].
A Government spokesperson said, “The Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport has announced the temporary closure of the WER Joell Tennis Stadium, effective tomorrow, August 28, 2024, for approximately one week.
“Following an initial assessment, the Department of Works and Engineering has determined that further investigation and building works are required. Immediate precautionary measures will be taken to address safety concerns.”
Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Senator Owen K. Darrell said, “These efforts are part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving the WER Joell Tennis Stadium for the benefit of the community.
“While we regret the temporary closure, access to bathroom facilities and administrative offices will be unavailable once work begins. Our top priority is the health and safety of our staff and the public, and we want to ensure that everyone is fully accommodated. We will notify the public when the facility is ready to reopen.
“We appreciate the community’s understanding and cooperation during this temporary closure as we work to create a safer, more enjoyable, and inclusive environment for all WER Joell patrons and to enhance the sporting experience in Bermuda.”
What is wrong with the Stadium… so much for transparency.
