A court once slammed by the former world number one Andy Murray
is set for an upgrade.
The East Kilbride tennis court was once severely criticized
by Britain’s tennis star in 2021.
Whitemoss Tennis Courts received more than £90,000 in funding
approval from the Lawn Tennis Association.
Local councillor David Watson was pleased with the announcement
and called the development ‘great’.
“This is a great report, and a great opportunity for tennis
in East Kilbride. It’s great that we’ve got the funding to do this,” he said. “I’m
thinking that an hour a week of free tennis activity is pretty light, is there
maybe an opportunity at some time to increase that?”
Councillor Joe Fagan was full of praise for the new plan and
stated that the locals will greatly benefitted with the court upgrade.
“Local residents, young people and others all got in touch
to share with the Council and SLLC their views about the importance of these
tennis courts,” he said. “The council does not have the resources to deliver
the level of investment the community needs but we have been able to leverage
over £90,000 from Tennis Scotland’s Parks Renovation Fund.
“Everyone involved in putting together this bid should be
applauded for their ambition and creativity and I am delighted the bid has been
successful. This is great news for tennis and for grassroots sport in East
Kilbride.”
