Funding for improvements to tennis courts worth around half a million pounds have been approved by Bridgend council.
Seven tennis courts across the county borough will be improved - while two new ones will be built. The proposal was approved unanimously at a cabinet meeting on March 14. The tennis courts that will be refurbished will be three at Maesteg Welfare Park, two at Heol-y-Cyw Playing Fields in Bridgend and two at Caedu Park, in Ogmore Vale.
The new courts being built are at Griffin Park in Porthcawl - replacing the two existing ones, which are set to be demolished as part of the new sea-front development. Cash for the projects comes via £328,000 from the UK Government and Lawn Tennis Association's Park Tennis Project, and £191,000 from the local authority.
