The decline of Johnstone’s tennis courts has been branded a “vicious circle” as councillors asked if an alternative approach should be taken to secure funding for the site.
The facility at Park Road, near the bowling club, is in a state of neglect with overgrown weeds, no visible markings and nets which need replaced.
Renfrewshire Council is pursuing financial support from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to refurbish the courts, but said it had been advised those at Brodie Park in Paisley and Robertson Park in Renfrew have been “prioritised for initial funding” in a report to the leadership board.
