In this note, we show that results of U. Baumgartner and G. A. Willis concerning contraction groups of automorphisms of metrizable totally disconnected, locally compact groups remain valid also in the non-metrizable case, if one restricts attention to automorphisms for which small tidy subgroups exist.
