Budding tennis stars have been served a major boost as more than £300,000 is set aside to transform run-down courts in Renfrewshire.
The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) will offer the local authority £129,960 to refurbish and develop the sport at Robertson Park in Renfrew, £18,090 for Brodie Park in Paisley, and £155,500 for Park Road in Johnstone.
The awards were confirmed in a report to this Wednesday’s leadership board, which said the agreement at Park Road is subject to the council contributing £17,000 towards the project, as well as funding wall repairs.
