Residents may be aware that significant investment is being put into park tennis courts across Britain. The works have been funded by the LTA Tennis Foundation and UK Government to refurbish and renovate public tennis courts, with the aim to support a new generation of tennis players to get into the sport.
I am delighted that sites within both the Hillingdon and Harrow areas of the constituency will benefit from this funding, with a number of projects underway. It was a pleasure to see the finished results at the Northwood Recreation Ground this morning at the relaunch of the park tennis courts, where I was joined by Cllr Henry Higgins, Northwood ward Councillor, and Cllr Eddie Lavery, Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services at Hillingdon Council.
Alongside the investment into this site and others, the LTA is also working with Hillingdon Council and the National Tennis Association to deliver a range of activities catering to all ages and abilities. I hope that these improvements, together with warmer weather and the upcoming Wimbledon championship, will provide greater opportunities for residents of all ages and backgrounds to be active.
