Bent basketball rims on court

Reported via mobile in the Park Repairs category anonymously at 13:32, Sun 18 May 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7585195.

Both of the backboards in bromley Park, the on down the hill from the highesreet, has been bent for a long time now if looked behind the backboard you can clearly see the backboard falling apart this can pose a safety issue if it snaps as more and more people are playing it could snap with people dunking on it. the backboard is also much smaller than average backboards as well the backboard being placed slightly lower then regulation height which can be fixed easily by adjusting the rim up if fixed it would be advisable to install snap back rims to avoid danger of people dunking aswell as positioning to regulation height of ten feet and a larger backboard and a nylon net for a more authentic playing experience thankyou.
