日前遭到当地市议会的否决
Confirming a recommendation from its planning officers, the borough’s council u
nanimously voted down the bid to build a new 8,000-seat stadium and 39 additiona
l courts, finding that it would “cause substantial harm to the openness of metr
opolitan open land.”

其中有一座容量将有8000人
The 7-0 vote followed nearly three hours of debate and prompted cheers from the
public gallery.

他认为这个扩建计画是自 2012 年奥运会以来

hold its qualifying events on site — they’re held several miles away at a sma
ller, 2,000-capacity venue.
目前温网也是四大满贯赛中
唯一资格赛不在原本场地举办资格赛的

xpected by early December on whether to kill the proposal or review it further.
目前将由伦敦市长办公室在12月做出决定
看是要终止这个计画，还是继续重新审视
