Padel tennis row in leafy Birmingham street as neighbours fear 'Gunfight at the OK Corral'-style racket in Sutton Coldfield. Jason Kerrigan, consultant and local resident.March 25 2025. Residents in a posh royal town have objected to plans to build three new padel courts at a tennis clubs over fears they will cause a "gunshot-like" racket. Locals living in ??785,000 properties fear their tranquility will be shattered by the three proposed new floodlit courts at Sutton Coldfield Tennis Club. The sports club already has one court and homeowners now fear a "Gunfight at the OK Corral'-style racket if the plans are approved. They say the existing padel court has already left the affluent area sounding "like a warzone" with players shouting and swearing. And they now worry the extra courts would leave them facing a daily barrage of deafening noise which will also bring down house prices. The trendy game is a hybrid between squash and tennis and is considered the fastest growing sport in the world. But residents say it has no place in a suburban setting as the banging noises from players hitting the balls can be "unbearable."

The woman said she also let the 56-year-old install security cameras, but on three occasions over an eight-month period, he secretly removed the SD card from one of her cameras and downloaded more than 2,000 images of her from her own security footage.
