Rundown public tennis courts branded a “shambles” by Sir Andy Murray are to be revamped and reopened in time for summer - with the hope of more investment in the future.
The move comes after the dilapidated Whitemoss Tennis Courts at John Wright Sports Centre were slammed by local resident Allan Kay and his daughter Matilda – which then caught the attention of two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray.
Allan was shocked when he turned up with eight year-old Matilda last year to find the clay courts locked up and left to rot.
