Council aiming for 'game, set and match' with bid to improve tennis courts in Cleethorpes

 

Ace idea! Council hopeful of funding to restore tired tennis courts

A MAKEOVER is on the cards for 'tired' tennis courts in Cleethorpes 

A funding bid has been prepared to bring  back to playing standard the courts at Barretts Recreation Ground, Haverstoe Park and Sussex Recreation Ground.

This is likely to be 'served' early in the New Year to the Lawn Tennis Association which, thanks to Whitehall support, has available £30-million to refurbish public courts across Britain.

The Government is keen to level up sports provision across the nation and widen opportunities for children and adults to be active. 

According to NELC, the three local parks were identified due to such criteria as "potential to attract players, the poor quality of the existing playing surfaces and levels of deprivation in the surrounding areas".

If the funding is granted, NELC will need to explore not just how to improve the courts but also how they should be managed.

Preliminary discussions have already take place between council officials and the LTA.
